Mama Mada
Yearning
by Li Po
Misted the flowers weep as light dies
Moon of white silk sleeplessly cries.
Stilled—Phoenix wings.
Touched - Mandarin strings.
This song tells secrets that no one knows
To far Yenjan on Spring breeze it goes.
To you it flies
Through the night skies.
Sidelong—Eyes. How
White tears fill now!
Heart’s pain? Come see -
In this mirror with me.
Tommy
by Gwend o lyn Bro o k s
I put my seed into the ground
And said, 'I'll watch it grow.'
I watered it and cared for it
As well as I could know.
One day I walked in my back yard,
And oh. what did I see!
My seed had popped itself right out
Without consulting me.
