Memory

Supermarket Sushi

drive left-handed,
right thumb and first finger
roll pills from sticky rice film,
residue dries to fingertips…

Roller Coaster

I forgot what I was gonna say.

Oh right.

You remember how
on roller coasters…

Recall and Wariness

You ever
see a poem
and whatever
organs your sternum
protects drop a foot…

A Different Order

there’s a poem,
locked away
somewhere
I don’t remember…

Recall and Wariness

Remember
when I was the sunshine kid…

I Didn’t Cry For You

I didn’t cry for you today.
Nor did I cry for you yesterday.
The tears are staying
on the inside now….

Yeats Remembered

The world
will come apart
in your hands…

Hang In There

On the dark days,
remember today’s
sun rays,
remember it’s hiding…

Worth It?

would you give up
the stretch of a cinnamon roll,
the smoothness of pudding,
the crunch of a cucumber…

When the house is quiet

when I’m the only noise
clicking through the kitchen,
when I’m the only music
playing in the rec room,
when I’m the only voice
yawning on the couch…
