New Year
morning
a firecracker jumps
over the fence
the first dawn—
a rooster crowing
repeatedly |
New Year's Eve
our neighbours
at the front door
in the middle of
New Year's Eve—
a crying infant |
Wishing you all
the very best in 2012
Jane & Werner Reichhold, US
light enters the
ocean and arches back up
in the colors of a circle partially hidden or
a tree that bends down sweeping and swaying
luminous leaves of red, green, yellow, and purple
that drizzle patches of splendor upon the scene
since it is already in the playground
of my mind as swings and slides
the glory of broken rays and music
that hasn’t yet been on fingers*
coming forward
the year in the mirror
takes on a face
the weight of night releases itself
shy, migratory, artless
a morning of no spider juice
running on overtime – five thirty
east still carries a horizontal
red wound left from a fading fog bank
acceptance of her smile when we slice
into the crust of our breakfast bread
the expression on her teeth signals
a certain white like corn home in rows
our window front, Dutch screened
adjoining a spin of minds, axis to axis**
