And Then

Snow falling 

on cinders, 


a convenient 

marriage.


No memory,

no ash.

The Sound


of a house skidding

into a horse-drawn 

calliope, a page

 

with no edges 

singing a bonfire 

to life.

Inquiry


Are there glaciers 

in Florida?

Are they crushing 


you, the ghost orchids 

into a single 

layer of rock?

Night Circus

Mending holes in the fortune

teller’s tent, the cost of a lost 

stitch the opening of the night 


sky and the five worst things 

that could happen to you disappear 

before the overture begins.

Recalcitrant Donkey


It takes an hour to walk 

the limited conversation, 

the half-moon fly trap,

and all its dead constellations 

out the door.
