I don’t know where to begin in the house that begins without me. Moths took over the pantry 7 mornings ago. Air conditioning crashed the heatwave. There’s no name for the missing part in the original sentence-frame. The lawnmower broken … Continue reading

The anodyne won’t erase wayward dreaming. Save your money for objects and gifts you can’t drink. The old woman’s porch is on fire with orange Monarch wings. Powder-dust—teal. A human conversation, an imprecise reaction— a reel let down into uncertainty’s … Continue reading

Where were we then? At the kiosk buying new night dreams. At the shallow river skipping white stones too thin. In cathedral-forest sunlight ribboning people we couldn’t be anymore. Troubled but feigning the bravery of bird song gathering thistle before … Continue reading

The brain is a city turned in on itself. Parts of the grid have disappeared. The neighbors can’t speak to one another about where they’ve been. Children recognize their parents’ sorrows. The mayor sleeps farthest from the sun. Wind storms … Continue reading

The newly-fallen snow lights up the night. We are beholden in the field of the poem. When the planes lean down into their lights to land, we still ourselves in sink holes from long-ago buried tree trunks. No one really … Continue reading

Sleep comes and wants to take us. Where? I ask, but sleep doesn’t answer. Dreams pouring the boiled kettle over frozen birdbaths. Winter drinking darkness and fire, domino-ing subtractions. The holiday misplaced its presents, your blue notebook of revisions, my … Continue reading
