Skating by Jeanie Murphy
New Year’s, long ago.
The day hung gray and lowering,
the river’s ice thick, smooth after being
snowswept clear in the night.

My Bleeding Heart by Susanne Severeid
My love is gone
to a better place,
they say.
I say,
there is
no better place
than right here
in my arms.

Death No More by Marjorie Belt
I had to leave the grieving bird
A-calling to its mate.
The song the saddest ever heard.
Why is this all our fate!

Watering November’s Horses
by Sylvrid Mounts
I thought it would last
Forever
The time that is not winter
In my body

72% by Amy Heath
Two dark chocolate, well-deep eyes
Fill the chained door’s narrow shaft,
Invite me to drink passion,
Urge me to ignore rationality,
Urge me not to think at all,
But to feel, to fall, to free
My heart from my mind,
My body from my heart.

I melted into the depth of those eyes,
The taste,
Still on my soul.
