Newtown Renga

awake
in the wake(s)
of Newtown
                                          Ginny Parkum


in Newtown storm's wake,
horizon obscured,
where's the path?
                                           Alfred Bloom


in the wake of a sinking boat
a wave moves on
gathering emptiness
                                         
                                            Brooke Wiley


in enveloping emptiness,
there is neither boat nor wave
what wakes?

                                             Alfred Bloom


the world of the wave
is the world of the wave
and yet, and yet...
