Context

I’d performed more than half my routine
long before mid-morning, and still she hadn’t left.

The Forever Sieve

I wondered
if there was
anything
I was
to omit

focused on
the small things
so big things
weren’t real

the soothed buzz
of an open field

sun drenches
acres

the emanation
of light
consumes me

until
is me

pin-pricked
water balloon

inside releases

and now no need
for finer details

no no-more
any more

Sleepin’ In

She said
At the count of three
I will snap my fingers
and you will awake

At 2, she was struck dead.
