The note read,
“I’m sorry.”
I found
your white sock
tucked into a ball
abandoned
underneath my bed
last night-
I had already
thrown the mate
away.
a few words spewing from my soul…

birch branch laden with ice
dips heavily to the ground
as the crow alights

A spent dandelion-
One wisp still clinging
to the bald-headed stalk.
I blow again, and a third time…
before dropping it as I walk away.

Just after Christmas
Pussywillows are budding
As if spring has come

your soft hairs
fine and tender
bend across belly-
blond, supple grasses
waving before the wind
of my breath
concave shadows
where bones build fortresses
sinew presses upward
like stone, and
velvet softness
cradled in its hairy nest
slumbers peacefully
awaiting the rooster’s crow
when
your seed thunders,
pours through my crevices,
flooding
until my body is a desert,
run dry for you.
In homage to the poetry of Leonard Cohen

Robins scour for worms
Criss-cross trails in dew-laden grass
Half a blue eggshell
Your lips warm on my shoulder
Asleep, I curl into you
