Below is a poem from my book The Houses are Covered in Sound 1991 and is the special for April.
Dream of the Uninterrupted Moss by Louise Nayer
I remember holding on to words
spoken in cafes now closed to us.
The words live inside
my blue delft breakfast platealong the river Ijissle
in the white chrysanthemums
in the peculiar innocence
of chaos.
In a little tin are my last cookies.
Next door, a boy is born
and lives in a drawer.
My paper supplies dwindle,
but I could give up words.
The sky is always ours
even though we are crowded together.
Someday, I will walk across the world.
For Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum
Below is a poem from my book The Houses are Covered in Sound 1991 and is the special for May.
In the Islands by Louise Nayer
You sit among bougainvillea
painting pictures of the sea
on pods that my children
rattle in their magic rooms.
For 40 years
you have lived and died
in the sun and its shadows.
Every life is a miracle;
yours is a street of sand
that enters the sea.
Even in the black waters
there is the luminescence
of one who has been saved.
A small sea horse
floats into midnight.
for my sister, Anne, pregnant

Magic by Louise Nayer
Lost and found
found and lost.
Magic is twisting
absence into discovery.It is death.
We play in it skeletal maze
to find a warm rabbit
moving in a deep hole.
It is birth,
transformation,
what the earth
yields to the grass.The special for November.
