Wings Flapping to Hold the Boat Afloat

Another minute of light 

push pinned to the sky 

this morning.

Another bluebird drawn

to the mast of your 

sinking boat.

Uninvited Guests Appear in Her Pouf

Marie Antionette shows up as a narwhal

with our boat impaled on her tusk.

Here we are now, dripping seaweed and salt

all over the ballroom floor.

Figure Skating

The river cracked 

beneath me so 

I carved these water lilies 

where I landed 

in the frozen mud.
