It possessed consequence in its bough
and the...

Firefighter
by Darren White
you wear skin but
it doesn't fit
not even when you grow a bit
it's tangled, battle-worn
frazzled and fringed
mangled and torn
you wonder, if you're caught by fire
will it...

after many years,
to sit under the oak tree

where he once dwelled

when he realized

A Dream Message Charlieku
by M. L. Kiser
A distant
Doorway looms dark,
Dreary.
I approach,
I open it,
Dark woods…
I am pulled
Into those woods;
Alone.
Fox is there;
Animal guide;
Follow…
Magic tree;
I’m led to see,
Omen…
Broken limb;
Fox says I am,
Healing.

The Fall Shedding

I wonder if THC

like Grandmother Moon
and Grandmother Tree.
Why do you want to wonder
about something as curious as that,

It’s muffled by leaves
And the years
That lie between now
And when I meet you
Come
