The Moon 
written by

Iris Sergey Murphy

.
having no fire of my own, I shine
But never burn. I receive the light.
Man and woman, I gather both
inside of me, surviving darkness,
shifting to achieve whole
or starving
into halves and quarters.
If I don't feed flames,
Transparent fragments linger
after daybreak,
and for some short moments
I can cover the sun.

My Arkansas

by   Maya Angelou

Mish Matt Foster

.
 There is deep brooding
in Arkansas.
Old crimes like moss pend
from poplar trees.
The sullen earth
is much too
red for comfort.
.
Sunrise seems to hesitate
and in that second
lost its
incandescent aim, and
dusk no more shadows
than the moon.
The past is brighter yet.
.
Old hates and
ante-bell-um lace are rent-
but not discarded.
Today is yet to come
in Arkansas.
It writhes, it writhes in awful
waves of brooding!

The place has run down since Gramp's day
Alabama Beach, and Cat Cay, and Towser!
