Prayer Smoldering clouds of smoke and ash. A sudden breeze weaves through the trees, lifting and lifting like steam. The sky opens its mouth and groans like the hungry stomach of some angry god. Its tongue empties itself toward the parched earth. Somewhere there was a prayer for this rain. Shouted from a crop by…

Poems by Nicholas Trandahl
GRASS VALLEY, UTAHOut here,mountains riseone either sideof the valley.Spring breeze.Morning choirof songbirds.Harmony.Some long-broken part of mehas been made whole again.I felt it—just now. ARIZONA CABIN Cold morning light spills over our bed— enough light to color the soft curve of her hip. Fragrance of fresh-cut pine, and gentle tired loving. Intoxicated by all that wild…

When It Comes by Saul Bennett
Do not make huge changes,Make subtle adjustments.Too grand or too sudden,And it won’t stick.Try drinking four beersOn a Sunday,Instead of six.Grow your hairA little longer,Read a book by an author,You have not tried before.Go to a different bar,Take the trainInstead of your car.Eat mulligatawny soup andWatermelon.Watch a French movieOn Television.Worry about the morning,When it comes.
