The Front Porch, by Wesley Bates*

 

And Then Comes the Waiting

by Stella Mazur Preda

 

A tattered chair cocoons her fragility.
Swept clean of many yesteryears
hollow rooms bear muted witness.
Her son is late.

Night shadows spill across the sky
coerce the departure of lingering light.
Fifty years and three suitcases huddle
in stoic resignation on the front porch.

Together they wait.
