if not for arias / I would have / breathed / in dirt

threading / a cosmos a garden / together / buck moon

*

the black / bird sings / why then / loaded guns

when the sun

in the cello

a heartbeat

once owned

by the willow

delta waves

the snow takes me deep within

*

star’s lament

no silver in mother’s voice

*

entering the ley line I inhale Venus

*Published in Otata 40 (April 2019)

once again

I indulge

the twist

of gold and ruby

along the banks

of twilight

*

via the sparrow

melancholia

finds C major

*

road to home peeling skin in the boneyard

*

is this

how tigers

claim ground

as theirs

the lick

of winter

across my

bare neck

*

time travel

in my hands

a photo of mother

before the cancer
