Renhai Reflections: Squirms And Scratches


Squirms And Scratches

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

the old jalopy
skids into the interchange —
balding tires... /vs

he squirms in the barber's chair — /vs
'skin head' makes the soccer team /gc

during the 'cat fight'
smart watchers keep their distance —
a dishevelled wig /gc

Renhai Reflections: Breaking Comfort


Breaking Comfort

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Jerry McKenzie (jm)

The young operator
flicks a cigarette butt
into the traffic. /jm

Tire tracks in the fresh snow — /vs
a grader's exhaust plume. /jm

I spread honey
on the scraped burned toast —
steaming coffee. /vs

Renhai Reflections: There, Here


There, Here

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (Solo)

Saying "Hi"
to this and that friend,
spilling her popcorn.

Sparrows flit limb to limb,
flicking snow off each branch.

He changes lines,
exchanges glances with
the grocery clerk.

Renhai Reflections: One Winter Evening


One Winter Evening

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

Along the road —
the clump of fresh snow
turns into a rabbit. /vs

A full lunar eclipse — /vs
coyotes snuggle closer. /jt

In the tavern
hot ale and a blazing fire —
Welsh rarebit. /jt
