Curious Eyes

Driver’s seat
He hums
To my song

- MDL

Sun going down
Over corn stalks

- RMB

Old dirt road
The middle of nowhere
Star gazing

- LC

Gentle light emerging
A rooster’s cry lifts my eyelids

-MK

Missing the moon
I roll over
Back to bed

-MD

The sounds of the birds
Blending into song

-LSC

•

I slowly rise
Cup of coffee
Warms my hands

-MD

I see his face take shape
In my coffee
I drop the mug

-MK

I sweep up the pieces
Of my broken life

-LC

Christmas tree
Reflects in each shard

-RMB

The broom
can only sweep
so much

-MDL

the little dust bunnies
fight for their lives

-KF

•

little girl
reaches for a resting
luna moth

-RMB

curious eyes
light up with wonder

-MD

moth dust
blows into her eyes
blindness

-AT

I feel like a talking
Helen Keller

-AP

The sound of silence
Too loud
Ringing in my ears

- MKL

Perhaps the ringing
Will never end

- GLM
