An6 $0 tHc U'nr 16 JaHs
Samuel Orr
The grass grows its green
And the sky bestows blue
But all is not as it was used to
Ihe stars still shine
And the clouds still float
But the crickets don’t chirp and the frogs don’t croak
Ihe cliffs stand tall
Still slicing the sky
Atop them though, no people reside
No meetings of friends
Nor parties about
Iheir faces are gone and the trees cry out
They weep and they wilt
Iheir leaves fall to the ground
As their roots feel the pain that silence sounds
For no breath will be taken
No noise will be made
But the rustling of bones on the ground softly laid
No body will move
Ihey will lie in their sleep
In their dreaming of sky and ocean so deep
Iheir life made this world
But their sleep always calls
No, they will not wake up
And so the world falls

J <£ culd Be 3ea(ous
Samuel Orr
I could be jealous
Of all the love you get
Of all the praise, and adoring craze
And the attention that you’ve met
I could be jealous
Of your skills which always abound
Of your talent and grace, and first place in the races
That I care so much about
I could be jealous
Of your charming, chiseled face
Of the eyes who will meet, your tempting physique
And the many hearts that you’ll race
In any of these envies I could fall
And my heart could buckle and bend
My eyes could compare my rough to your fair
And lead down a path with no end
But I won’t go down that path today
For I know where my true worth comes from
Not from skills or from praise, nor from strength or from face
But from the loving Lord above
From him alone my value comes
Not how alike I am to you
For he does not see what we’ve amounted to be
In terms of our twisted view

<Re Color (Quiet
Samuel Orr
I’ve heard that colors sing to any ear that listens
And paint a song in their spectrum
A prismatic performance of shimmering harmonies
Preserved in the present where they forever will stay
But I’ve never heard their tinks and tines
Never the blue breeze brushing against my face
Or the verdant chords of deep evergreen
No,
Only the color quiet
She is silence sounding out her sorrow
Deafening those who love her so
But she is not my love
No, her steady scream has not stuck my heart
Yet here I live, here I am stolen
A captive of her love, prisoner and heir to the riches of her solitude
Awaiting the coming of the colors
When her screaming shall cease and most magnificent symphony will surround me
But I must wait patiently for that day
As the moon waits calmly in her night
Ever hoping for her love
Ever chasing the sun above

ELEGY ON VELVET PAWS
Sandi Anderson
The rain came down in soft warm drops that flowed together and ran
in rushing torrents down the gutter in the street. He could hear it beating on
the trash cans; the drops falling off the fire escape, mixing with the odors
of tin, brick, and wet dirt.
His name was Joe Trujillo, and he was Puerto Rican. He belonged to,
and was the leader of, a street gang called the Diablos. Self-remorse filled
him when he thought of the stupidity of trying to take the short cut from
the bar, through the dead end alley, up the fire escape and over the roof
tops—especially alone. He remembered that as he had started to run across
the street, the hoods had emerged from a tenement building next door and
chased him. They cornered him in the alley and forced him into the sha
dows. One grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall of the
restaurant. “Josie baby, you really got careless, didn’t cha’?” Said the big
pimpled face. “Thought yo’d take our turf didn’ ya?”
They tore into him with the knucks, holding him up and crashing
their brass-covered fists into his body. The last punch wasn’t with their
fists, for Joe saw the flash of the shiv as it poped its head out of the fake
ivory handle like a rat out of a hole and tore its searing way into his guts.
He remembered the last thing he saw: two yellow, staring eyes that belonged
to an observant alley cat crouched behind the trash cans, under the fire es
cape.
When he opened his eyes the cat was still there, watching him
with the unblinking stare of the centuries. The eyes were set in a silvery
coat that caught the glitter of the neon lights. Their eyes met—held. The
cold, staring eyes of the cat and the pain-dulled eyes of the boy.
As he lay, Joe again marveled at how clear everything seemed to be.
He heard the honking of a car horn in the street and the screech of tortur
ed tires. The purr of the motor was drowned by the rumble of the running
feet of the hoods. The angered voice of some nameless man cut through
the air, followed by the jeers of the kids and the clank of a manhole cover
as tires passed over it.
Joe screamed inside, but his voice came only as a helpless gurgle.
“Jesus,” he thought, “Can’t they hear me?”
He felt himself slipping, fading. Jarring himself awake he thought, “I’m
dying!” Then put the thought out of his mind. “It can’t be,” he thought,
“They alius say if ya want heart, get Josie!” He slipped into unconscious
ness as his bloody lips formed the words, get Josie, get Josie.
Joe awakened to the sound of shuffling feet. An old man was lifting
the lids on the trash cans and carefully replacing them. The old wino was
�mumbling, his hands shook, and the saliva ran down his chin in streams
that caught in his smoke-yellowed beard.
“Don’ none dese bastards ever clean dere ashtrays?” He walked over
to Joe. “Whasha matter, buddy?” he asked. “Hey! Ya got a cigarette?” The
old man fumbled through Joe’s shirt pocket and took the cigarettes. “Thash
whacha git fer drinkin’ too mush!”
“No! No! Joe screamed, but the old man was gone. Joe turned pain
fully and looked at the gaping wound in his stomach. The blood ran over
the pavement and he could see his innards. All at once the realization that
he was really dying came to him, and he was surprised to find that he wasn’t
frightened. He regretted having to leave his sister and nephew, but he knew
she could manage all right, with her income.
“Only,” he thought, “I hate like hell to be lanoe.” Then he raised
his dimming eyes and met those of the cat. His gaze was transfixed by that
of the cat . . . he went deeper into the yellow-green .... deeper . . . .
deeper, until all was a combination of the soothing effects of color.
The sun was shining, and the grey sparrows preened themselves on the
edge of the fire escape. The cat stepped out into the sunlight and eyed the
lifeless form once more. She stretched and uttered a throaty roar. Languidly
stretching once more, she licked a velvet paw and bounded up the fire es
cape to scratch on her owner’s screen door for breakfast.
ROSIE
See the rose?
Smell with nose.
As rose grows,
This nose knows.
As Petals fall,
For nose that’s all.
So nose must wait,
And wait, and wait.
As winter comes,
And fall now goes;
The north wind blows.
And nose now knows
That winter has
Its own sweet smell;
And now on spring
He need not dwell.
