  • Natural History of the Soul

    The song thrush hops, runs, stands,

  • Willing

    Hidden from all mothers’ eyes by blinded windows

  • A Brief Portfolio

    Faces pass by like unheard explanations

  • In Case the Messiah Comes

    In Case the Messiah Comes   Split screen city. East doesn’t go West and West doesn’t go East. Occupied neighborhoods, buildings on buildings on dust of history.   Ramat Shlomo Haredi new homes with their backside to Shuafat. The Red brick headquarters model of 770 Eastern Parkway rising amid the white stone–in case the Messiah comes and wants to live

  • Babel of Signs

    Skirting the coast desperate for fresh food

  • Threnody and Sylvia Plath

    The train coach, Jean—empty except for you,

  • The Call |Palm

    You and I, we have been here before.

  • Ode to Scars

    The scars on others’ faces draw me to them.

  • Human Condition

    The human condition isn’t some grinning

  • mother of stains

    a mother made of three buttons from three different sweaters

  • Canary Island Date Palm, Love & Ink and Persephone

    Couldn’t say the dream I had last night.

  • Once I loved an opera singer from Spain

    for 15 days, maybe 20.
