The Heron's Nest

behind closed eyes
the scent
of daylight

Mark Teaford
Napa, California

wearing my bare feet
how else to cross
the morning meadow

Peter Newton
Rutland, Vermont

hovering
over lavender
this thick afternoon

Mimi Ahern
San Jose, California

sweltering sky
the endurance
of the temple ruins

Ruth Holzer
Herndon, Virginia

eucalypt gorge
the blue
of settling night
