Spirit Issue #9
MARCH 1997
Striped plastic bag
tumbles down the cold wet street:
good morning Monday!
Philip Keogh
late night girl
at the cold morning bus stop
in her only blouse and skirt
Helen Robinson
First winter Redwing
in the garden ~ the shortest day
somehow seems so long
Bill Wyatt
"Over mountains
mountains" ~
first snow
Joe McFadden
winter jay
wearing the spotted feather
my dead child gave me
Helen Robinson
the firefly's tickle
as I open my fist
the glow
joining the river
each stream
its own song
Nasira Alma
Hours till dawn:
in the hospital grounds
for whom does that blackbird
sing so sweetly?
