An overwhelming sense... [read more] |

She didn't lie about her pain.
She allowed it to come to the forefront,
to drip down
in front of all of us,
pooling and salty.
She didn't lie about her pain.
She allowed it to come to the floor,
to drip down
in front of us all.

I have a friend who has a dog
It's a very nice dog
Sometimes, if I come over

The last time I took him for a walk
He was acting very frisky
Chasing squiirrels, barking at other dogs ... [read more] |

"Tilt and Frame”
The careful poet lifts a frame,
arches of measure, panes of rhyme,
the reader steps inside,
believing the structure whole.
The wayward poet tilts the ground,
syllables scatter in the air,
the reader falters,... [read more] |
