MATTHEW RETOSKE
Bleachfields

Maladroit and sinister, I stride-
Across the bleachfields, through canals
Of milk and sunlight- the rite
Of the needle's passage,
Bearing curved sword thunderstorms
Sheathed in crescent silk of Turkish blue
Like the mother of moons.

The flickering forms of ghosts
Wait on the banks of withering rivers
For the coming gift of rain
To this parched land;
Yet it clings to cloud, dangles and quivers
Like nectar that drips from the tips of wings
In a harem of sleeping angels.

WENDY HAMMOND
Inland Lake

to float 
you have to learn to relax 
trust the support of the water 
become one with yourself 
limitless and free 

like you are the life preserver 
the buoy 
the lift and the elevation 

unwavering to the fluctuation 
of the wave 
the wind or mobility of 
the glove of mortality 

it comes naturally to those 
who don't fight it 
but invite it 
with out-stretched arms 

and if you believe 
you're the raft, then each breath 
reminds you 
you aren't sinking 

and you become a beacon 
to those 
who are still learning 
about floating 
and how to trust the support of the water
