My Hand

~ By Leslie McKay and Ingrid Bruck

 

smelling breakfast

egg pretzel

warm sugared donuts

 

falling for a bracelet

made of summer filigree

 

work horses for sale

crazy quilts burst color

busy hands plough and sew

 

alpaca blankets

swathed in luxury

my hand

 

a crowd in black denim

our feet slip in mud

 

glowing pearl necklaces

a red beret in the distance

at one with everything

 

 

In Motion

~by Dee Aubert, Ingrid Bruck,

tiger leaps through flames

alighting on silken paws

fledgling safe in jaws            

 

green crowds into roadways

high-water rush of springtime        

 

winds whip willow leaves

fling finished catkins to earth

scent of grass fresh mown        

 

soggy bits of straw

cling to wet bottom trousers

steady strings of rain            

 

on fantasy island

jumping gates to take the sun        

 

celestial flare

solar arc across the blue

season to season
