Featured Poet:  Michelle Coutinho, "Blind"
my thoughts
        of far away settling

trace my feetprints
color my wondering
and a nevermore
                                   nevermind rhyme
familiarity
                          when I draw them both
on my wrists
                and walk through crowds
of strangers...

      i'm in between thymes
           
             and necessities carry me through
my mornings are so very pretty
               *everything glows*
                                     my memories glitter
what my eyes see
                                      
                (there's a silver lining for...       everything)
and maybe
                          life won't excel for me
and thyme will continue
                                creeping
and maybe moments
                   flood with the chance
of away
                    away
                                 away
may I hold on tight
                   to what found me true
and may they wish me,
                                           to include
in our thoughts
                                     of far away settling
there's a silver lining to                    everything...
