Public Education
You shuffle out the classroom door
Ode to Damp Forests
A jagged twig scraped the softness of my ear
Are You Watching Me, Mum?
Tucked safely under the wings of their mother
Ode to Sisterly Love
Voices summon us outside
Old Bones
I am tired today, and so bored of weeping
Wooden Boats
Each ascribed a number painted in red
White
I am the chill on your breath
The Path To Open Sky
My heart used to spring and jump
On The Back of Day
The day exhales on the window pane
Doors
Vaughan Street lies like so many graves
The Bath We Created Together
Yesterday still lays on the coffee table
Clydefield Infants
Nordhoff Cemetery is small and rectangular
Summer Love, Sent Away
I watched you sip your morning tea
Sleep
The bedroom door is closed firmly behind me
Saturday Morning, Intercepted
The entire house is asleep
Preening Feathers
Health is a seed that swims in our minds
Orange Groves
This is the stuff of childhood.
In Light, On Angel Wings
I return to coastal Maine to visit with my sister.
Stray Dog
It really pisses me off when I get in my own way
I-Gen
I saw him not that long ago
