Never a Child
By Zoë ChristiansonA class clown attempted murder today.
A mother’s little boy,
a child’s best friend,
a teacher’s beloved terror,
stood over the monster who raised his freckly faced son
like the animal he’d become,
clutching a knife.
Rainbow Is

abundant light
interceding with the heavens
nymphs like beauty
bestowing radiance
overpowering reign
wondrous creation
Loves Death
By Kim NashI look at your face,
the flowers in the vase,
I never wanted to be in this place,
As I pace the floor,
Searching for the door,
I realize I miss you more,
So I kneel at the cross,
And pray for my loss,
