I moved here to teach,
and here I am learning

...Ripples of vibrant streams stagnate
Songs of flapping birds relocate
Forest rustles hibernate

Skeletal trees shake, underdressed
Mushy, scabbed apples numbly rest
Brisk, harsh breezes pierce l...

Families

...Families
awkward phone call

...You slept in, I walked to the beach
“I love you” an old American hippy yelled
”And the mosquitos do too!”

the NO TRESPASSING sign trembles

I packed some pants - I'm not a fool -
And long-sleeved shirts, but still unsure,
As I was heading out the door,

And wore it ...

booms at the uniformed
kneeling guy who pushes
chocolate bars on the shelf.
The lady glides, slimly with

not as an underdressed yet fearless sailor-man,
but as myself, passing through Davidson
