... piano lesson over
... I cross the dark field between our farms / singing hymns my mother taught me
... one eye on the porch light / trying not to run

Midnight Rain
... midnight rain on river road
... shadows on sheer curtains
... another car carrying you further away

Broken Branches
... broken branches beneath hundred year old pines
... small birds on sunlit bales of straw
... a footbridge / the river ..... this persistent dream
The photograph is mine.

The Ermine
little ermine with black tipped tail
something has drawn blood from your beautiful white throat
left you lying on this path through the meadow
I lean into another loss / yearning for summer
spring already a lie

In Sepia
young and in sepia
my mother stands by the side of the road
trees and a mailbox
she's waiting, she waves
I wake up ...
my room
my dog
breathing

The Only Light
... the only light / the neighbor's barn
... we breathe as one
... the dog and I / this deep blue night

The House Beyond the House
... in the house beyond the house
... lilacs push through worn out floorboards
... blackbirds wait for our return
