for provocative poetry and prose.

• Take & Give
  Sidestepping forlorn souls who Scattered about the streets in SF Search the sidewalks for clues:
• 30 Years
  We all knew the day would come When we would lose our youth
• Sandstorm
  If your burden is heavy, set it down Rest for a bit under a tree, breathe Gentle breeze or storm, it will pass Life is Yin & Yang – flux and fleeting
• Nua
  Never let anyone cover you up Shine pure and bright inside— Lightning strikes your pride: Now is the time to grind,
• Murky Water
  Lost city streets weep A still, dark puddle beneath
• Distracted
  Kids don’t play outside Enslaved to bright, flashing screens
• Azorean Immigration
  They sailed away from verdant islands In search of chocolate and new clothes Raced around in sports cars, and Abandoned the farms for the city
• Here, as There
  Here, as there a trail winds among birds and trees
• Early Flight
  There is a half-dead possum In the middle of the road Hunched over, bleeding And we drove by
• Encroachment
  We used to go to the creek To bathe and fully awaken. By July, it is nearly dry A puddle of green waste.
