      “BUT WHAT MUST I give you in return?” I ask, suspicious. “Nothing,” she replies. “Well. Next to nothing.” She has offered me wings, beautiful, silvery wings. And I am not mad, so I intend to accept. But I’m also not a fool. I touch a feather. Delicat

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Kid’s Stuff

      O Dolly Dolly

      O Dolly Dolly

      Sitting on the shelf

      Leaning to one way

      Not content with yourself

      Oh what a cloudy day

      O Dolly Dolly

      With a tear in your eye

      Your white dress worn and tattered

      Put on a shelf with no good-bye

      A memory of play then shattered

      O Dolly Dolly

      Don’t worry your pretty self

      Another child will come your way

      Not a dog or elf

      But with you she will want to play

      O Dolly Dolly

      Stop your cry

      Look out the window

      See that it is your time

      And for you there will be another tomorrow

      My Babies

      They run

      Jump

      Holler

      Play

      Giggle

      Give hugs

      Love

      Untitled

      I took my light

      Made two

      Now always in my sight

      Trains, Planes and Cars

      Looking at the stars

      Seeming so far

      Hugs from the heart

      Diapers doodles and feet

      Toes on warm concrete

      Secured tight in seat

      Food on faces as they eat

      Books snacks and a monkey

      Dances funky

      Attitudes so spunky

      I am so very lucky

      Gum Under My Shoe

      One day at the zoo

      I spit out my gum...ptoo

      I got it under my left shoe

      It was all stick ewwww!

      This gum on the bottom of my shoe

      I went to see the baboon

      He laughed at my gummy goo

      Almost turned him blue

      What was I to do on the bottom of my shoe?

      It was getting super stringy as I walked through

      I then saw a bird singing a tune

      He cawed like a loon

      Where did you get that gum under your shoe?

      It’s mine and I don’t know what to do

      It’s true

      I need it off soon

      He told me to pick it off with a spoon

      I did that too

      That didn’t do

      I tried to get the gum off the bottom of my shoe

      I took another piece to chew

      A large bubble I blew

      Spit it out again...ptoo

      Now I
