Migration
a buffalo in the desert lost in a stream of the herd we meander dazed always leaving a name behind in the stream of the herd we look for something new always leaving a name behind desperately seeking the American dream we look for something new holding onto hopes desperately…
The Shipping Forecast
Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer— Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finistere. —Carol Ann Duffy There are storms walking the waters of Viking and Utsire, and gale-force winds from FitzRoy to Shannon, and for days, now, a rain so persistent it seems still, like something solid fixed to the garden. But everything…

Serial Killer Sonnet
My father held my child face in a bowl of hot Quaker Oats, claimed me a mistake— cross-eyed, dork, zit-faced mocked, bullied in school. I couldn't burn a ball across home plate fierce comet the way his tight stare pleaded. Drunk he lassoed and roped me to a tree— punched…

Keepsake
The tilt of the camera caught the groom as he danced with his mother-in-law. It didn't intend to catch the left corner where the young bride sat, face to the wall. It caught me, too—swelling her belly under satin pleats, the result of revenge against an ex-lover, a luckless souvenir.…
Two Women in an Unbalanced Street Scene
First, the painter wanted the church, dome firm like a full breast nursing the clouds— wanted that damp, pink hole in the sky, a hint of the day, 4:20 p.m., being sucked into a blue twilight, early. This center of the canvas diffuses, goes gray— the brush pulls to the…
Night Farming in Bosnia
Drawn by perfumed tomatoes, dry rattling beans, stalks, shoots, leaves, whiffs and gleans, we crawl in the dark over furrows still steaming. Hunger drives even moles from their holes and we are not moles. We were farmers when we planted these fields. Overhead the threshing wings an owl…a mouse… interrupts…
Hush
for Mike Dockins, after Dario Robleto's conceptual art sculpture “Lunge For Love As If It Were Air” in his 2012 exhibition “The Prelives of the Blues” at the New Orleans Museum of Art—labeled “stretched audiotape of two now-deceased lovers' recordings of each other's heartbeats” They recorded each other's beating hearts—rewind,…
