JUNE BERRIES
Juicy and sweet, these berries delight, Unique flavor with a hint of almond's bite. Native to North America's land, Eaten fresh or dried, both are grand.

Indigenous peoples cherished them so, Essential vitamins they bestow. Saskatoon berries, nature's...

Joshua Moore Minnesota
Damp linens flung aside sodden cushions Flank by flank She was damp Nickel sack and bark rings Verdant gaze meet hazel orbs Ripe late April Northern Flatlands moisture Slaughterhouse savory mist perfume Slender dull rose covering on the pane Cooling unit recirculating Coral beams groom her visage Midday vernal noon the drizzle ceased the light slivered in Naked gourd blossoms adhesive juice Lurching brined The toddler flesh on her abdomen She...

Dream Song of the Thunders from the Chippewa
Dream Song of the Thunders Chippewa saying translation by Michael R. Burch Sometimes I bemoan my “plight” when all the while the wind bears me across the immense sky. What is life?

Burch Cherokee Travelers' Blessing I translation by Michael...
