Bus Ride
Clanking through July heat and rush hour traffic on a crowded bus, wanting to be home already, maybe sitting on the back porch steps sipping a glass of wine, stars like holes gouged in a tin can—a brighter, flickering universe on the other side, forgetting the day I gave away…

In the Rice Field Where Leeches Lurk
Night bruises in shades of blue and gray out here where the moon is light. Pigs grunt as they shift in sleep, questioning the quiet from inside. The wind reels the door ajar, winding the wooden frame open. The kitchen no longer echoes groans from the hungry from days before…

Marai Sandor in San Diego
Deprived of the Magyar language, of pörkölt cooked in cramped kitchens, of the scent of elder flowers, you don't meet your cronies on the street. You scour the shops, but they don't sell what you need. You look at every table—there's no one here you know, no one to gossip…
Strands of Time
1. Shreds The fabric of the universe is shredded. As clouds unravel, grass and sky are torn to tattered rags that catch on brush and thorn, and down is up; we don't know where we're headed. We thought that warp and weft were both embedded in cloth we wove to…
Samsara Turntable
Her hand is cold and trembles into mine. “But Mama, why were you away so long?” she asks, her weakened body sprawled supine, opaqueness shrouding eyes, the voice withdrawn and shrunk to whispering, while hair spreads wild to trace a fanlike shadow on the sheet. Her mind is struggling: she…

The Potato Eaters
Her back is to us, but her head tilts toward the plate filled with creamy light and jacketed potatoes: the aureate center, the corolla of this domestic tableau. A touch of Hansa yellow tempts us to smell butter, but it could be merely the amber glow of the ambergris flame,…
I Am Shadow
I am shadow I demarcate one blade of grass from its brother and unite objects together on the wall hat-stand couch- corner pot-plant I make shape out of line and frame form I follow and lead I am shadow black bird in water twin in air I take flights of…
Dolly
Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll – Cliff Richard, 1960 As soon as you see her you'll recognize she's one of them by the bruises on her padded thigh, burns on her cotton rag arms stitches undone on her forehead, hair full of knots, lacquer peeling and…
The Boghole
I poured the milk into the cup of hot black tea until the surface clouded over and lightened with coils of steam, like the genie of memory rising out from the uncorked bottle of the forgotten. The turf-brown tea settled at the brim of the cup, as silent as the…
Thirteen
There are as many years in you as witches in a coven, devil's dozen, number of steps to the noose, no use to rub a rabbit's foot or knock on wood, you've had one too many birthdays than you should twelve years they served Chedorlaomer and the thirteenth they rebelled…
Living Room
for Owen For now the war is silent, folded on the coffee table, inky smudge of smoke, young man's dark eyes left to stare at the ceiling. Tomorrow he'll be recycled. There are many ways to disappear but we've planted ourselves right here. We've painted our living room red, hung…
Table for Three
Table for Three Oh child among the roses, oh press of doves, oh presidio of fish and rosebushes your soul is a bottle of dried salts and a bell filled with grapes, your skin. Ode With a Lament Pablo Neruda Egg-yolk yellow police tape flaps in the morning breeze, delineates…
