The Heron's Nest

mayflies...
casting a line the length
of my lunch hour

Chad Lee Robinson
Pierre, South Dakota

sitting with the wind
a late summer butterfly
quivers on a leaf

Mariya Gusev
Arlington, Virginia

moving day
a little pain
in each box

Susan Farner
Urbana, Illinois

eking out the dusk
a hummingbird length
of nectared tongue

Michele Root-Bernstein
East Lansing, Michigan

pitch-dark fairway—
a constellation of
meteor watchers
