tipping back
my whiskey glass:
      the moon

Nate Haken

 

lower and higher
higher but not sure
first spring peeper

an IV tube
caught in sunlight
daffodils

Allen McGill

 

spring fever
mule ears gee and haw
above the pickup’s slats

Elizabeth Howard

 

passing laundry
between a flutter of sheets . . .
bob bob white

making way
for the power lines —
