  • Dear— and On Misreading a Line by Mario de Andrade

    Scorch splinter shard and itch  Dear glitch

  • Cardinal

    The drill of its song    the whoop whoop whoop

  • Stammer  (2 pp)

    Was I hatched from an egg, fostered by birds

  • The Cocoon, I Started Slowly & Morning’s Only Yellow

    Visiting my cousin’s church I found

  • Whatever Alights

    A zillion yeses to the titmice at my feeder,

  • Hurdy Gurdy

    Like a grumbler who claims a five year old

  • Classmate

    I was at the beach talking with someone else
