like chrysallis books on a branch 
of those higher deities we trust, 
submerged, we are always listening

Night 3
It’s still in my garden.
It’s back with a vengeance.
I can it see it there, lurking:
face black and white, its tail mocking.
Three nights in a row now.
The eyes and the fur and the scraping claws.
I...

I am the girl who loves too much.
The one who bakes brownies instead of saying,
"I miss you,"
because sometimes sugar feels safer than truth.
The one who writes long birthday cards
and sends postcards filled with drawings,

 She loves cranberry sauce with turkey
 But I don’t like...

For the diet can not last
The weight that which we weigh

And if it is more cakes and bakes
Than salad and fiber breakfast flakes

Lonely as the contact
Silently the phone rings
Umber is my stomach
As I sit all wound in stings

Far away was the country
That sent me on this call

And wanting away from it...

Several springs ago
When the weather was good and callow
When the wind whistled swiftly, low and slow

Darling, now you're deceased
Lying down and sleeping comatose...

Said that I should become a doctor
Stethoscope and thermometer are in her gift bag
To spark the zeal in me, she set to wave a green flag.

Mother's mistake
She didn't get a remake
Had me
Wasn't much to see
Kinda slow
So many things I wanted to know
