I’m Done with Birds
After a week away to bury my mother, we found robins nesting above our front door. Was this a cosmic joke, one mother laid to rest, a new mother bivouacking on the porch? But what to do, move future chirps to a nearby spruce, toss out five beating hearts? In…
My Mother Used Her Kohl’s Cash to Buy Her Husband’s Urn

Trifecta of Sonnets, New Year’s Day
“We cannot know his legendary head…” —Rilke i. Heaven grays, the river storms. A buck, sculling at the center crest of dusk— his rack, a nest of silver twigs— slashes river-green from river-black. He carves upstream. His wake, a froth of yellow lace. I feel his lease on time, this…
