WEAVE by Roshi Robert Althouse (first poem I ever wrote)
Weave
your grandmother’s tomatoes and your neighbor’s lost eyes
the crack left by the jet plane, now far away and the crystal pattern of ice on the morning window
the lost rhythm of your native tongue and the laughter on the neighborhood stoop
the broken lamp post and the lost key

“No High Seat” by Brad Hunter
Some folks like the high seats,
Floating with angels and dragons,
Far beyond the trembling troubles
Of ordinary flesh and bone.
