Picket white
paint drips in rivers
along the wood grain
of a newly hewn fence.
Faint birdsong and distant wind
chimes accompany the clink
of empty china teacups
alongside biscuit crumbs
stuck in drizzled honey.
The cotton tablecloth
sweeps at her legs
with the wind, wrinkled
with age, stained with memory.

the color of light
undifferentiated
before the prism
Literature
Blueberries
I find myself grateful
for the existence of semicolons,
little things
keeping my life sentence
half open;
lost in thought
I wash the blueberries
with trembling hands,
you listen to the news
while making tea -
it’s a bitter cup again
but we have honey,
strong hearts, a lock on the door -
we have time for laughter;
in the end
it all comes down to this:
a bowl of blueberries
a kiss on the cheek;
Literature
l'amour a distance
we love like vagrants,
ours a truck stop romance,
ours all the vagaries of
runaway time:
us a roadside motel,
us a highway map,
us a crumpled collection
of interstate lines.
ours a vagabondish worship
of the distances we drive.
and all the violence of longing,
is that yours or is it mine?
and the vacancies in my body,
are they yours
or are they mine?
