One Page to Fill a Life
By Stefanie A. Shilling
Response

some only get as far as the title
some a few stanzas

some empty every ink bottle
grind down every bit of lead

embedded hands from a grandfather clock
a grandmother’s broach

parts of a piccolo
like fossils burrowed in pulp

leaving no space untouched
drenched by the blackest night

leaving behind
the unmistakable patina of time

Dimpled
By Angi Lewis
Response

Dimpled
like goose pimples on flesh
like the bumps on a dog’s snout
where the whiskers sprout from
like the rind of an orange
or wedge of blue cheese
like the stippled sea
like the dented moon

Handle with Care
By Stefanie A. Shilling
Response

it’s forever been true
that the land holds the sea
and there’s no truer feeling
than when your hands hold me
