December 2004 Premiere Issue
Haiku/Senryu
Michael Dylan Welch
hummingbird at the window
—my blink
startles it away

|
| |
second trimester—
a package arrives
with baby clothes |
|
| |
|
blue water
blue sky
the breakup |
| |
a stack of unread books—
rain blows
against my lamp-lit window |
|
cafeteria line—
the good-looking girl
looks at my plate |
|
|
Ferris Gilli
washday moon
the cicada's husk
perching on a shirt |
|
|
| |
possum tracks
a crop of mushrooms
in the okra |
|
| |
|
first anniversary
the redwood seedling
tall as a straight pin |
| |
noon heat
I see the sun
in a dog's eye |
|
dog days
garden-hose spray
kicks up dust |
|
|
Jim Kacian
| March sun and garden begin to move |
|
| |
autumn sunset
a man can't quite outrun
his son's new bike |
|
| |
|
ancient mounds...
imagining the builders
in their own language |
| |
rainy day
the left hand
muddy |
|
| after a while beneath the hose the black earth glisters |
