DECEMBER 1999
East wind -
over silent fields
October moon.
Joe McFadden
Impossible
to tell the sky from the ocean ~
This autumn's first dusk
The first leaves ~
before raking
I look at the blue sky
Gilles Fabre
Out of Manhattan
the flight of a cormorant
no other movement
Sean O'Connor
Bird's weak chirps ~
I stop reading
to poke the fire
Gilles Fabre
Weeks of rain
quiet beasts
stand in fields
Ken Jones
Out of the wetlands
it lies in the office park
long beak frozen
Jim Norton
Darkening morning
husband and wife
keep closer
Ken Jones
morning meditation -
out of the blue, a swallow
pops into my mind
Bill Wyatt
Manhattan
out by the turnpike
how still this crane
Sean O'Connor
back and forth
through the wood
the bark
the echo
Ken Jones
The power's back ~
i turn off the lamp,
again, reading by candlelight
mountain sunset ~
among pines
one red-leafed tree
let's stop this earthy talk!
over the frosty canal
a swan is taking off
as this perfect blue sky
won't give anything away
I blow on the wind chimes
his shirt inside out
the old man
searches for change
Gilles Fabre
No spring
stone saucer of rain
rippled by the wind
In moonlight -
split ash
its smooth white flesh
Ken Jones
Green sunset -
leaning out, its pure gold
the new moon
Jim Norton
