Looking Down into the Valley

Yes, fields stretch
out from me,
snow patches
the yard and sun
takes up space
that isn’t otherwise
occupied…

There Was a Time When I Would Have Believed Them

do well in school,
get a decent job,
pay your bills,
make friends…

Blame It On Me

I soak in sun,
scheduled
for 15 minutes,
an hour…

Let Me Drown

head above water,
until it slides
beneath choppy waves…

Betrayal

He slides out of the recliner,
shakes his ears as he bee-lines
for the couch where my mother
is about to sit down…

Erasers

Wouldn’t it be great
if erasers were a real thing?

Erm, Joe, pretty sure
they’re already a real thing….

Legs

My legs aren’t real,
you can’t convince
me they are, jelly
doesn’t flow in veins…

What’s Cooking?

I’m thinking about your face,
and no matter how hard I try…

Paper Turtles

Make a paper turtle
for every attempt,
every job applied to,
every phone call made…

Hush of Bones

muscles are twitchy,
blood pumps uncomfortably
through veins,
feeding the twitches…
