Pleasuring <\/span>

Earth yields to fingers<\/span>
Penetrating to place a<\/span>
Morning glory seed<\/span>


Unfolding<\/span>

Peonies thrust pink<\/span>
And purple buds that throb from<\/span>
Springtime\u2019s warm massage                                   <\/span>
 <\/span>

Mourning Dove<\/span>                                   <\/span>

Sleepless nights you end<\/span>
With lonely cries beside your<\/span>
Silver lifelong mate                                                           <\/span>


Paperweight<\/span>

Upon your desk in<\/span>
alcohol a garden snake<\/span>
coils and stares blindly.           <\/span>


* Eileen Sullivan says of herself “…An American writer and editor, grew up in Canada, and has worked on faculty teaching university classes in literature and media studies. She served as Associate Editor of <\/span>South Dakota Review<\/span> for years and is a published creative nonfiction essayist, fiction writer and poet. She has no current fixed address and may be reached through Edizione Kolibris. Her previous editors joke that her best fiction is in her autobiographies. The ambiguity amuses her.”<\/span>
** These for haiku come from a new bilingual (Italian & English) collection that Eileen and Italian poet Chiara De Luca plan to publish later this year \u2013 more details to follow.                             <\/span>
