Tracks everywhere
by Gary Lawless
Tracks everywhere,
paths, lines —
These are the lines of our lives.
Our journeys intersect,
cross, tangle, make knots —
moments become sacred,
places become sacred,
become knots in our hearts —
Here is where the heart
lifted up,
Here is where you felt
another world —
knots of memory, beads of time,
knots of the sacred these
knots give off sparks,
give off stars,
stars connect at every knot,
give off light.
our words become light.
our lives become light.
the light within us is
holy. Everything
is sacred.
David Enblom
David Enblom: has been a visual artist over 40 years, concentrating on photography, conceptual art, and graphic design. He has written 28 true short stories called “First Person,” 8 of which were turned into comic strips. For David, “words are just another aspect to manipulate in the creation of an artwork. I like the way you can make poems correct syntactically, but surreal in meaning.”
The Bar at Saturday Zoo
by Ellen Sander
A brew and you
the orphan
the redbird
of blues, a big young
singer trying
a stage
hikes his voice
a twitched octave
against the
tic-clicks of billiards
Outside, where
steamboat clouds smudge
the cold spring sky
sticky winds sail a
paper-cut girl
past a molded moon
The car radio passing by
kickdrums faint throbs. We
walk behind shadows older
than what shapes them
