      William Hart

      when was it
      I lost the capacity
      to blush

      William Hart is a poet and novelist living in the Los Angeles area who wonders if he no longer does embarrassing things, but doubts it.

      Water and Stone

      Highly-prized Theban
      silks pierced by her needle
      Ino became a goddess
      in salt waters
      admired a rose,
      and wondered if her blood
      was a celestial map.

      Ghost Fish is on land and will change back to his place in the stars. A textile piece, 10x8." by Cindy Rinne.

      N.E. Taylor

      ribbons of
      blue velvet
      night descends

      all my silver
      tarnished
      what matters now
      red ripe tomatoes
      in the garden

      N.E. Taylor lives in Los Angeles and enjoys writing about the changing colors in her garden.

        I lost my capacity to blush
        when my grey was redder
        than my June Gloom overcast
