but when we do
we know we are alone
forever

Noele Norris
The peach tree weeps blood;
its bony branches offer
red gems to the frost.our Loss
Words strike clank
drop into SilenceBlanketed by ice, a slender koi stirs
dreaming of fairy moss
and grapefruit.River of still waves—
the snow skates across the ice:
I cross the bridge home.
