Fast Reactions
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Zhanna P. Rader (zh.r)

Bursts of fireworks —
quick flashes illuminate
people in the crowd. /vs

In the night, cracks of thunder — /vs
her boyfriend storms out red-faced. /zh.r

Contemplating
a nudist Black-Sea beach —

Renhai Reflections: Some for All

Some for All
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (Solo)

Rose bush —
two or three wilted among
the pink blossoms.

A hot sidewalk in August —
Bubble gum covered with ants.

A Renhai by Zhanna P. Rader (zh.r) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

The rain
refreshes the garden —
the kids, barefoot. /zh.r

A mailbox, in jasmine blooms — /zh.r
dust rises above the road. /vs

Heading home
covered from head to toe —
he finds more mud. /vs
