The Heron’s Nest

family meal
my contribution
to the silence

untold accounts
a knot
in the family tree

Mother’s teacup
the crack not quite
all the way through

Edward J. Rielly
Westbrook, Maine

wine country
the dry whistle
of a Cooper’s hawk

Sarah Paris
Santa Rosa, California

wide skies
a least sandpiper scurries
over the mudflat
