D.H. Talman,
Ireland

Ghostly vapors hang
Formless depth and distance melts
Ether silhouettes

Invisible mist
Young rooster prospects the skies
Grandfather clock chimes

Plucked loose by taut winds
Flowering geraniums
Carpet the cow path

Shiners swim upstream
Spent leaves bob the other way
Red shift streams in time

Frayed winey wet moss
Shimmers from the quit rainstorm
Squat slate walls glisten

Fat dappled koi yawn
Orange dragonflies skitter
Bats skim the big lake

Lionel Samuels,
Spawning Salmon,
Haida, Argillite

Wind Horse,
Tibet

Flickering sunspots
Tickle soft round cloud bellies
Lowering the sky

Semi darkness creeps
Erasing the horizon
Thick smoke feeds the dusk

Wind horses bucking
Shadows slam dance the tree line
Steaming windowpane
