borrowed handkerchief

blowing out her cold

Seattle summer Katharine Grubb Hawkinson

            the ferry’s wake

            sparkles with sunlight Michael Dylan Welch

breaking the stone

to find

the fossil snail Melissa Allen

            up her leg

            slowly, slowly Carlos Colón

he becomes

white with anguish

            fruit bats

            fading crescent moon Garry Gay

one firefly

and it too

has left me Garry Gay

            breathing in the dust

            of dad’s pickup truck Katharine Grubb Hawkinson

drifting snow—

a misspelling

in the church sign Michael Dylan Welch

            a single cloud

            a baby points at the sky Melissa Allen

all night

the sound of the coqui

spring love Carlos Colón

            the orchid unfolds

            its wings and fangs Marilyn Hazelton
