Aware
~ D. H. Lawrence
Slowly the moon is rising out of the ruddy haze,
Divesting herself of her golden shift, and so
Emerging white and exquisite; and I in amaze
See in the sky before me, a woman I did not know
I loved, but there she goes, and her beauty hurts my heart;
I follow her down the night, begging her not to depart.

Narcissus
~ Gerda Mayer
What he liked in her voice
was his name
called over & over
and the mirrorlike look
in the weeping eyes of his lover;
in the end, left her
on a chill mountain shelf,
in a damp cave
with her wits and her words astray,
to devote himself
to himself.
Then the gods with indolent yawns
took a high hand with him for
such eNOR
mous self-love
was considered by others a bore.
Changed to a flower
he stood by the river
a sad case
of rooted vanity;
he never forgave
the reflecting water
for rippling his face.
Kitchen Magic
~ Lysbeth Em Benkert
Mom does long
division.
that number
sits under
a roof, where
the other
knocks on the
door, where the
pieces drop out
below,
getting
smaller
maybe
a
de
ci
mal.
some days it
sums zero,
other days
there’s a remainder.
she never
uses a
calculator.
