widow’s penny—
on the mantlepiece
beside his pipe
Rose van Son
memorial plaque
claims
an unknown
Lyn Yates
a cast
of fireside shadows
war memories
Maeve Archibald
slow combustion fire
a chapter
in every log
Jenny Macaulay
dripping faucet the silence between us
Tom Staudt
flexible fingers
origami squares folding
into graceful swans
Maire Glacken
Echidna Tracks
