Renhai Reflections 148: Sightings

Sightings
A Renhai by Janice Thomson (jt) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

Slivers of sunlight
fracture the dense stillness
deep in the forest. /jt

The half-moon dots a tower /vs
as a crow pecks his shadow. /jt

The glinting harpoon
fired from the sofa's bow
pierces the surface. /vs

Renhai Reflections 147: Stepping Back

Stepping Back
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Dr. Vidur Jyoti (vj)

A waning crescent
in the long dim corridor —
shuffling footfalls. /vj

Barber's shop window — /vs
a glance back in time. /vj

Shoe-shiner's chair —
on the tip of my shoe,
the overhead light. /vs

Renhai Reflections 146: On the Way

On the Way
A Renhai by Gillena Cox (gc) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

Slowly letting go —
the greeting card slips into
the tiny slot /gc

Two friends embrace in the street, /gc
their puppies tangle leashes. /vs

Fish food sprinkles —
the guppies dart up to meet
the sinking bits. /vs

Renhai Reflections 145: Awakening Talent

Awakening Talent
A Renhai by Gillena Cox (gc) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

School buzzer —
I'm the last one left
to leave the room. /vs

In a semi dream state, /gc
I hit the snooze button. /vs

Chalk on the black board
taking a line for a long walk —
creative art class. /gc
