asleep in white flowers my porous body done with roots ***** on a knife-tip I swallow my prayers *****

long-term illness
we slip behind a mask of flowers ***** all night rain something in me wants to say no ***** construction blocks-- a little boy learns to lie ***** spring sickbed my profile picture becomes a butterfly ***** passport checks on the night train a tunnel with no lights ***** unkind words
the sudden tightening of mussel shells ***** shattered family a six-year-old invents another planet * * * * * stories that we tell ourselves dustmotes * * * * * |
