Gravel, Cheesebox, Hideout — Caesura
MAGDALENA Magpies have pillaged the crabapple tree the Harvest Moon’s waning sun’s gone into Libra. a love poem won’t hold you can’t bind you with words.

Letter: Bikers and hikers don’t mix well on trails
(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Avenues Ridgeline Trail is a new trail (combining parts of old trails + some totally new) with sweeping views of the Salt Lake Valley from the “summit.” By Andrew Schelling | The Public Forum | June 30, 2021, 5:26 p.m. From my perch in Boulder County, Colorado, your Salt Lake controversy over bicycles on local hiking trails looks sadly familiar.

Erotic Love Poems from India Finds Wisdom in Sensuality
Lovers exchange intimacies until dawn. An unfaithful husband begs forgiveness at the feet of his enraged wife. A woman steals away from the threat of her lover’s in-laws.

There at the mouth of the cave, but a few feet from him, lay a starving tigress who had just given birth. This tigress was so overcome by her labors, so weak with hunger, that she could scarcely move.

Translating the Speech of the Gods
In 1971 when I went to college, the University of Rochester, seated on the south bank of Lake Ontario, had a fine medical school, a tall library with a green copper dome, views of the abandoned flour mills along the Genessee River, a club dedicated to bonsai trees—and a language requirement.
