A Short Bibliography of Secrets
The things no one talks about could fill up libraries. I imagine wooden shelves bowing under the weight of untold secrets. Card catalogues overflowing with tantalizing tales of the unsaid. Archival footage emerging into light like the faded purpled ink of old mimeographed pamphlets. Hidden wives and lovers, secreted passions…
Belonging
When pomegranate seeds spill from your shallow ivory pockets onto the rubber playground where this city expands in your palm; or before the hour when you run through the orange light as it bends like a whale, the wind goes wherever you go, your dress full of dirt, and never…
Celestial Bodies
i When you put Saturn in the bath it floats. It's true. ii A teaspoon full of neutron stars weighs more than all the world's people curled up together. Under the sheets we glow in the dark but the light we emit is 1,000 times dimmer than we can see…

Shorn
The Pentecostal woman next door confides: the Lord forbids a blade touch her hair. It rats and scrapes her knees, unbeautiful, decades old. She weeps in the mornings, rakes and breaks comb teeth through it. Her neck is off. She whispers, “The nice gay man downtown says he will take…
Water
The dead are learning to float. Even the ones who never dared wade ankle-deep. They are surprised at the water's welcome. They are drinking the water, too, for the first time in days. They drink as if they have crossed a desert before thirst invented mirages. Some have forgotten their…
From the Mouth of Kitsee’s Inlet
I. Arrow Point Look: we have buried bodies here. Monuments for relatives and former pets, or soon ourselves. We create evidence of our own making: memorabilia from old tools, language in loose soil. Plants and people wilt in shade, planetary systems tilt in predetermined phases. Diminishing bee collectives scatter claustrophobic…
A Word Like Rat
My Aunt Sandra—a large woman, a holy woman, maybe you can see her— quilted housecoat, just-washed auburn hair past her waist when she tips her head, heavy to the side, and pulls wet strands over one shoulder, both hands working to brush and smooth. Then, collecting the hairs from her…
