Waiting<br />
by<br />
Bette Wappner (b’oki), Newton, Iowa<br />
Carole MacRrury, Point Roberts, Washington<br />
Hortensia Anderson, New York, New York<br />
autumn silence<br />
she sits in the old chair<br />
waiting... b’oki<br />
the thrush’s song<br />
held back for the dawn Carole<br />
fallen feather<br />
the stillness <strong>of</strong> the dead<br />
grass and twigs Hortensia<br />
a closed window—<br />
daylight glows on the pane b’oki<br />
moonshine...<br />
she rubs the tarnish<br />
from a cup Carole<br />
traces <strong>of</strong> dark purple dusk<br />
open onto a new night Hortensia<br />
