Soup-by-Spider–Photo by Peggy Honeydew<\/p><\/div>\n

Sea Mark Bells<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shimmering city
\nfaded to phantom
\ndistant in gold
\nfrom the mist
\nrising off the sea roll
\nwhile sea mark bells
\nguided ships
\ninward from vastness
\nthen again to all blue,
\nwe entered the gates
\nthrough cold wind.
\nIn my swimming
\nthe bay grasses
\ntouched soft as dark hair
\nbetween your legs
\nin both the openness
\nthat we spanned
\nmoving like bridges
\nhidden in morning
\nabove the canyons
\nof watery wildflowers.
\nI curved my arm
\naround you
\nlike the shoreline retreats
\nand curlews flee.<\/p>\n

~ John Swain<\/p>\n

THIS IS OUR WORLD,<\/strong><\/p>\n

look,
\nit\u2019s beautiful.<\/p>\n

This is my ear, a shell
\na curve, a wave.<\/p>\n

This is my right hand
\ntyping this message
\nto you, the world.<\/p>\n

Here is my arm resting on this desk
\nmy body, leaning towards the screen.
\nHere, let me look at you.<\/p>\n

(Shifts in chair)<\/p>\n

Yes, I see you.<\/p>\n

Here is my name writ in mud
\nthere is yours, alongside
\nin the sand.<\/p>\n

Here our lives.
\nHere is my sigh.
\nThere is your name.
\nHere is my neck.
\nThere is your hair.<\/p>\n

My name is inscribed in your hair
\nYour eyes read my poem.<\/p>\n

My name is your lifetime
\nMy shoulder our golden mean.<\/p>\n

Here is my self
\nscribbling these words.<\/p>\n

There stands you
\n– in the rain.<\/p>\n

~ Geraldine Green<\/p>\n
