Brown leaves fall on those sheets. I can say,

Our family lives in a basket
attached to a helium balloon.
This morning we have chicken omelettes
then I leave my feelings hang on air
go to work . . .

She could have been living in the center of earth
emitted just this moment without a care for
the twenty years passed in between. A teenaged love . . .

Timed out messages
Perspective thins out. Then all turns black.
Grandmother used to apply a crème.
The smell of memory in blackout

Hemlock for a drink : dinner for one
He knew what I was serving.
The nothing in his expression

One more time. you'll bear my cry.

You just stare.

Don't deny me, cold breeze
Of mother . . .

soft petals scattered over skin still wet with dew

So jittery are His soft bones
As if daunted by His destination
In tenderly echo He cries
To the pleasing ears close by
Gently, in piercing stare
