| HONOR & OTHER ONE-LINE POEMS |
| by Russell Evatt |
Honor
A bullet through the face instead of the back.
Easter Sunday
The Baltic coast is full of women shaking
sand from their high heels.
Huge Catholic Cathedral
The bigger the room, the louder God’s voice.
Schemes
The police are busier than the rebels.
Aubade [a poem or song greeting the dawn]
God moves through like fog.
Time
The clock agrees with the sun.
The Moon
Painters have it best above a windless lake.
Importance of Landscape
Look, just there, two horses standing in rain.
1,000 Dead in Mudslide
We round up to make it even.
