Day blooms off the bay
with sunlight and salt
and spring perfume in the air.
Still, this is not mourning.
Mark J. Mitchell
The orange sunrise
lights a low mist, trembling lacy outside
while a counterpoint shrinking moon strums tides.

He treasures his fat blood. It’s opulent
as silk. He’s sure—if his fingers could reach,
he’d stroke the texture. He’d trace prominent
mountains, islands. Draw his personal map
on his left palm. And one pure, black sand beach.
Mark J. Mitchell
The day-to-day dance, simple rhyme
of long love. She can’t recall when
he didn’t make a mess. Each time
they both cleaned the too small kitchen.
