  • Deliver Her Unto Me

    Fields of stone angels,
    depictions of divine sorrow,
    stained with wetness,
    cracked and crumbling,
    aged terribly and unkept,
    shake beneath my hand
    and weep into grave soil.
    She went too soon.
    She was just a child.
  • Infernal Dame

    Love is a flame carried inside,
    a flame that I cannot hide,
    a spark that could start an infernal war,
    and with you, Angel, I carry this flame.

    I do not wish to burn alone
    for I am but flesh and bone,
  • Spirit Mother

    If you dig your fingers into the soil,
    feel the cold and damp Earth,
    you can grasp onto Her hand.
    If you bend with the great oaks,

  • Bookish

    I'm most likely to spend all night reading

    and then regret it the next day. 

    I'm the most likely to bring cookies for my friends

    just to be the only one who likes them. 

  • My True Home, Vermont

    Being a Vermonter is spending six months of the year wearing a jacket.

    Being a Vermonter is running outside in nothing but leggings and a sweater, thinking it’s springtime when it hits 47 degrees.

  • MY RIGHTS

    "You want your rights?"

    "Come and get it," said the snake.

    It was wrapped around a tree

    in the confines of his tail,

    a paper labeled "YOUR RIGHTS."

    I stared up at the snake,

  • Ice cream

    Sickly sweet,

    Your words touch my prefrontal cortex

    Like soft burning snow.

    Your touch tastes sweeter

    Than ice cream

    On a humid sun-streaked day.

    You,

    Frost-borne by the north wind,
