A Room Of Our Own
by Eileen V.
A room of our own is what I desire for Molly and me.
Where we may find our solace once again, and be free.
Haiku
Free of hatred, free of people,
free of prejudices, free of incompleteness.
A room of our own where we can grow,
develop, and reunite as one.
A place to hang pictures, and to have our belongings around us again.
A Light Beyond
by Maddy Brown-Clark
by Ross Robbins
Summer Moons;
A guitar player’s music
Ascends to the sky.
A room of our own where we can just be.
In Japan the color of mourning is white.
The blinding flash of strangled brain
Festooned above the funeral rout,
All the crepe-stream blank of pigment,
Blank the mind once dying’s done.
Maybe find a bit of hope there, thought
Of light beyond alive, not
The blackness promised by
A firm belief in nothing
Downtown;
Too many people
Going nowhere.
The cattails;
At the edge of the pond
Standing regally.
