Vega, July 1979

Herewith, the latest selection from dusted-off published poetry and short fiction, circa 1970s vintage and beyond....

Sunday Evening

The fireplace
licking flames
eating chill
from this house
fragrance of dinner
still ornamenting the air.

Television droning
children homeworking
around programs;
one of us reading poetry
the other
.... book propped
gently snoring
in the comfort of warmth.

This homeliness
of together.

c. 1979 Rita Rosenfeld
