I Look for You
I looked for you in the rain
green paint curling to brown
your brown eyes liquid and faint
downcast, receding into the trees
of your tiny mock forest, avoiding what glistens.
I looked for you on the wind
for gusts fierce enough to pace off
the received boarders of the remnant prairies.
As I close my eyes and pray for sleep
there you are, rising and falling
that steady and soft breath at my shoulder.

Dear Alicia,
Just caught your blog this evening. (I know, I live a boring life.) But "Book of Voices" is the title of a section of Kurt Heinz's e-poets.net, which you link to, a terrific website to see a range of poets. It is still on-line. The "Book" is a special section devoted to writer portfolios. My chapbook (published after this feature) is "Debris: Poems & Memoir" (Moon Journal Press, Arlington Heights,2005.) This was reprinted with a fresh layout by Dave Gecic, of Puddin'head Press, in May of 2011. It is still available through . For an extra buck, they will mail it out to you.
Also, last week I got word that my second chapbook, "Ceremonies," will be forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press in fall 2013.
Again, thanks for your notice!
Elizabeth Marino
