Poems
Mike Faran

"But I need to live by water and
death – should it occur –
would be baptismal"

"While science with its test-tube magic might
have offered us another choice, or chance,
its moonlit logic never reached romance:"

Rick's Orchard
Joe Cottonwood

"Sun heats, shade cools,
the hose washes apple-skin sugar
from the flesh of our hands."
