Gray Day
wet snowbird twitters
watching as all turns to white
hard to fly today
by Mike Carson

crammed and waterless
far from sea's gentle gullet
my metal coffin
by Padrika Tarrant
On the corner of your collar
On the corner of your collar
one melting
the heat of the tram
licking it in
– on the commuter tongue
one breath, animal-strong
by Helen Pletts
