6/15/16

all this wine
these women
seated at one another's
right hand
like knives

6/14/16

morning tears open
the sky like a hangnail

coral pink shock
sky swollen
with grey boulders

6/13/16

under the droop of
flowerheads,
air ferries
solemn-faced
little flies

6/12/16

when we sang

your name

you stretched a smile

as wide as the hilltops,

high as the strawberry moon

6/11/16

i wrap
toy cars and blocks
no gift
the match
for his trusting kiss

6/10/16

i watch a street corner kiss

from a borrowed car -

the whole drive home

my jaw works a pinch

of stolen thyme, bitter bloom

6/9/16

i follow you

up and down

the mountain

shoulders brushing 

the overgrowth
