Clock (insp by Salvador Dali “The Persistence of Memory”)


I am falling bent
Weight on bark makes me cascade
Ticking still in vain

  • Winter Skin

    The season's vulnerability
    Giving in 
    In innocent ways

    Peeling skin
    Reveals red ribbons
    Networks of cross stitches
    Bleeding, scabbing over
    Begin again

    This snow soaks it in
    And round plums ripened
  • Generational


    Oh, my no peanut butter during the war, Catholic school grandfather
    My orange juice pouring, snarky commenting, desperate patriarch who nods his head without refrain
  • Pinky Promise?


    Caught in the curve of entwined fingers
    behind your back
    Are where promises
    find themselves suffocated

    These are what you have for me
    You have brought fruit
    and you have gathered flowers
    whose petals vow your devotion
