the train passes
slowly, slowly
outside the zoo fence

--Ellen Skagerberg

midnight
the old widow
eats jam from a jar

--Ellen Skagerberg

Squirrels in my yard
practice rough sex and other
forms of thuggery

--Richard Velez


Wor Wonton Tanka

It's a wor wonton
sort of day in this city
I'll warm my hands
over a bowl of hot broth
and sip astringent green tea

--Wulf Losee


full moon over coit tower just before street lamps light
--Gary Gach
