Poem of the Day:

the breath           the trees           the bridge

the road           the rain           the sheen

the breath           the line           the skin

the vineyard          the fences           the leg

the water           the breath           the shift

the hair           the wheels           the shoulder

the breath           the lane           the streak

the lining           the hour           the reasons

the name           the distance           the breath

the scent           the dogs           the blear

the lungs           the breath           the glove

the signal           the turn           the need

the steps           the lights           the door

the mouth           the tongue           the eyes

the burn           the burned          the burning
