GRAPE-VINE They twist and twine, some reach, the vines of chance All hung with sweet and supple, frosted blue. The earth their bed will be and trees will dance Away the languid, purple air of rue. by Ines Martins BLACK SMOKE Black smoke Over the gray city The wind tries hard To sweep the city clean.

Pigeons waddling in shades of fear Chattering birds take to flight. Small girl with dainty Planters peanuts left from last nlght's buffet, Throws them on the cracking pavement Watches, waits, leaves them lay. Starched nurses in white nylon pushing baby carriages pressing cracked peanuts to sticky wheels leaving trails ot peanuts crumbs in mossy green sidewalk ridges. Pigeons boldly follow by pecking nuts from pavement cracks fighting squawking angry greed Eating sticky peanut tracks Cooing noise-quiet Going one by one. little boy chasing purple pigeons in the sun. by Joan Marcus ,ffgsff-wi - -- , 'f ,, .M f .pww,.ir.enpf,wv 45-:gg5,,3,,,m,j,n,,j .fr15g,g'5 . , .

AFTER THE SNOW Turn back Powdery residue White blotches on lonely ground. Salt cakes Ot lost kisses ln silence of Remembrance. Sediments Ol black time Echo Empty nothings While tracings, Winter ink blots, Search for a meaning. by Alan Sobel SUNDAY NIGHT lt's late, long iourney is over lights and brawling streets iarring subway rattle little boy almost tell asleep then Atternoan's country railroad station is lar behind behind in a whir ot dust and grinding wheels Little boy lies now on the couch in grandma's Iivingroom somewhere in afar corner a baby ben ticks on ticks but if you don't think about it it will go away Stare at light patterns pirouetting on the ceiling the darkness waits below in the street a bus's motor puns but little boy doesn't hear sleep dances with the ceiling's tigures dances away. by William Chaumont
