Grass Flower Head
Mama Was a Negro Spiritual
She was a goodnight prayer, a moon that Shined down on me through her bedroom Window. She was the alphabet, a Sunday School verse, a third Sunday gospel song to Rehearse, a mostly misunderstood exchange Of power, responsibility & commands. She was a black '73 Ford LTD, a Nottoway River…
Teacup of the Rose
The rose is painted red. There is no other teacup of the rose unbroken. I bring it to my mother. Mother cries, for her mother's rose garden once tended with love. When Mother sleeps, please pardon: she is an orphan now. Her father, long of the sea, mute; or could…
Augumtoocooke
North side of the Merrimack is what the Pennacooks called Augumtoocooke, but as I drive east along Pawtucket Boulevard there's no seeing Augumtoocooke. That road pours into Varnum Ave then onto the VFW Highway so on my left I see Heritage Park, the University, a Mickey D's, Dad's frat, but…
Robeson County, North Carolina, 1993, 1939
We hiked deep into the back woods, Carolina pines covering our swollen faces and the pillow cases that pushed us. Our sandals crunched dry-rotted twigs and fern fronds whispered hello and goodbye in one breath, Our necks smelled of bug spray and camp bunks, metallic sweat and dried blood. we…
The Barrio
To love your lover as you love your city; To move along the sutures of her streets At noon, and touch the swaying palm, her body. This spot at which her cheek and temple meet. A smoldering of herbs is wafting from The kitchen of her mind—paprika, chives And marijuana…

Yard Work
Our mother prowled the yard, winding wires around bare stems of rose bushes, attaching Woolworth's plastic roses— her flowered house dress puffed out full, hair lifting like flames. I watched, embarrassed by how tacky, how pathetic but it had been a bad spring all around what with Dad's drinking and…
Man Talk
I watched the landscape pass from the back of a Volkswagen Passat crammed between lads of size and silence until we stopped on the shoreline. I watched scrubs of grass anchored to sand dunes, pebbles, shells and driftwood scattered on the sand, seaweed snaking through thin streams of seawater into…
Trying to Get My Body Back
As if the baby had slithered away with it. As if I had carried a spare change of bodies into the hospital in my overnight bag. As if a trapper had come in the night, slit it from me like a pelt, leaving me pooled in the bedsheets. As if…
The New Sentimentality
Involves this fascination with purging. O to live off of very small servings of sushi and gourmet teas. My uncle paints his thoughts onto teapots, one circled with commentary on eating a handful of dry brown rice: “you'd be surprised to find what comes out.” A physical, unexplainable desire to…
