Rain Today.

Geoff Benzing

I wake up to a world of trees
Beyond my window
Their bare branches engulfed
In fog
Silent steady witnesses
Calling to me from another time
And place entirely

If you stop and listen
For a moment
They become who they truly are

Please, please, please, Sister Socrates
You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty theif

Barbara: (Pats pockets) no, it must be in the fridge.

Come Closer

Sean O'Dell*

Come closer
Come into this
Come closer

You are quite the beauty
If no one has ever told you that before
Know that now
You are beautiful

There is joy in how your mouth dances with your teeth
Your smile is a sign of how sacred your life truly is
Come into it
Come closer

Know that whatever God prays to
He asks of it to make something of worth
He woke from his dreams
Stripped the soil from the spaces inside himself
He made you
He made you and was happy for this
You make the Lord happy
Come into this
Come closer

There are birds beating their wings beneath your breastplate
Gentle sparrows who are aching to sing
Come aching hearts
Come soldiers of joy
Doormen of truth
Know that my heart was too big for my body
So I let it go...

Ice

unknown

“He sounded different, or maybe I’d never listened to him before. Maybe those times in his car and in the parking lot weren’t exactly what I’d thought they were. Maybe he’d noticed the ice, the stones, the way I believed I deserved to be hurt.”
- The Ice Queen, Alice Hoffman
