Suddenly, She Can’t Finish Sentences When She Tries to Order Starbucks
Memento Mori: Bell Jar with Suspended Child
I A crow circles the dome. One endless wing anchored, axis, in fresh-bloated ground. The other, feather-tip, skims glass sky—that coil of perpetuity, surfer's thumb along barrel wave. Here, my daughter is no more than simulated landscape, spring-loaded copse woven of her plucked hair. Love become thatch. Trembling palm tree…
Ode to la Conquista
My mother is an ancient invitation to dream the saliva left on the hand that was kissed the perfume of the ocean, the maddening wind the tightening winch on a torturous reach My mother is one eye over the shoulder a Sabbath prayer beneath the breath the reproach of brine…
Things I Shouldn’t Have Planted in the Garden
Bloodflower: Asclepias curassavica Also known as scarlet milkweed, the bloodflower attracts the golden wings of Monarch butterflies, but contains chemicals which will burn human eyes. You crushed the crimson petals into pulp, dragged their cool, fluorescent blood across my cheeks, so the soft fumes just scathed the milky surface of…
Sonnets on Cinema

Elegies
The uncle I've never Met is dying In some Alaskan hospital Wearing traces Of my father's face The waitress at the diner Knows his name And the Shrine Of Saint Therese Opens for him His silence is The thumb Brushing against My forehead On Ash Wednesday It is my birthday…
Happy Childhoods
Sometimes when my father tucked me in he told me older stories. There was an apple made of gold, and a man threw it, and she had to chase it, or maybe she caught it, but her sisters didn't. But there was one side of the apple she shouldn't eat.…
Balance
Sparrows
My people were Presbyterians and Pentecostals, Baptists and Methodists and a Mennonite or two, but that is not why I sleep with my face to the east. My father's father once told me that God flings sparrows by the fistful when He awakens the dawn and they bring the light…

Migration Patterns
In the dream I tell customs my llama is a goat. Because sometimes the heart is not large enough to hold what is beautiful if the mind finds it exotic. Sometimes the mind mistakes itself for a hoarded piece of land and little campfires spring up everywhere. Smoke slinks through…
