DavidSnyderBIMI: Report from Alan & Elena Sutphen — Uganda
A woman whom we did not recognize (masked) attended church a few weeks ago and Elena asked if this was her first visit. She pulled down her mask and said, “I am Joyce!” We knew Joyce from years back when she...

This one will be no different.
Happy 1st of July to me!

ContraWhit: “Naming the Stars”
(Joyce Sutphen)
This present tragedy will eventually
turn into myth, and in the mist
of that later telling the bell tolling

a sign of something long since lost.
This will be another one of those

glennmrichard: Bookmobile
by Joyce Sutphen
I spend part of my childhood waiting
for the Sterns County Bookmobile.
When it comes to town, it makes a
U-turn in front of the grade school and
glides into its place under the elms.
It is a natural wonder of late

goodnatureart: Silo Solo by Joyce Sutphen
peedeelou: Silo Solo
by Joyce Sutphen
My father climbs into the silo.
He has come, rung by rung,
up the wooden trail that scales
that tall belly of cement.
It's winter, twenty below zero,
He can hear the wind overhead.
The silage beneath his boots
is so frozen it has no smell.

peedeelou: His breath comes out in clouds,
his fingers begin to ache, but
he skims off another layer
where the frost is forming
and begins to sing, "You are my
sunshine, my only sunshine."

BY JOYCE SUTPHEN
It starts
with a blank sheet,
an undanced floor,
air where no sound
erases the silence.
As soon as
you play the first note,
write down a word,
step onto the empty stage,
you've moved closer
to the creature inside.
Remember—
