Hunger, a Poem by Helga Gruendler-Schierloh
Yesterday we drank red wine
and dined pleasantly bored,
arrogance our daily guest.
There were no doubts,
there were no fears,
great promises rang in our ears.
We were entitled to the best.

Nothing About (2025), a Poem by William S. Kilgore
nothing here to see,
there are
weightier matters
in circulation
amongst women and men
far more capable
of the kinds of flicker-events
that start forests blazing.

My Eye, a Poem by D Larissa Peters
The world is surging around me … chaos
protests, disasters, crashes and killing
And in the eye of the storm, I’m on the floor
building legos
My 2-year-old architect demands
music and I play it

Words for the Living, a Poem by Patrick Morgan
I am in the water of your tears,
the intake of your breath,
the pressure of your knees
as you kneel in depths
of solitude and sorrow,
half-remembered Bible verses,
the memories of picnics and birthdays and family dinners
