  • Slowly But Not Too Much and When Your Lover Leaves You

    as if making your way through an alphabet

  • She Said She Saw Vowels

    underneath her birdfeeder

  • Nice Dark One

    Yours is a noble bio, one note

  • I’LL CALL YOU THIS AFTERNOON,

    I’ll call you nowhere, now

  • LA LONGUE DURÉE

    It’s a far cry from the blaze we light

  • Cache

    Here lies a hectic site, la Cité

  • Hail to Thee,

    I write, my wrist nodding

  • Ars Poetica

    The shell of the papershell pecan can easily be broken

  • Che Fai Di Bello

    They are burning the fields in
