Ribbons Winter 2008

This rounds up 2008.
Theirs
was the marriage
we envied
mandarin ducks at the edge
of an artificial pond
Karen Cesar
*~*
kneeling
in blue Speedwell
we let them go
a school of brilliant flashes
then the dark pond took them
Kristy Karkow
*~*
two heads of garlic
sit in an empty room
his last request in this land of winter
the constant calling of crows
Thelma Mariano
*~*
on the stoop
of a foreclosed home
a cigarette turns to ash
in a moment
it will all collapse
