Grace
For Mary Oliver
... filled with grace /
your poems embody how I hope to live this life
... some days I come close /
other days remind me

Winter Dream #9
Winter Dream #9:
pointing to the ceiling
to something I can't see
my sister says she's going to make
bear soup
I look away
hoping for a small cup
a few sips of his endurance
his strength
he has followed me for so long

Among the Wild Iris

Sometimes We Call It Love
... it's that time of year again
... cows bellowing for their calves
... we want what instinct tells us to want
... sometimes ... we call it love

Baptized
.
.. baptized in rainy lake
... in
a white blouse and
turquoise skirt
my mother made me
...
I walked back to shore not feeling anything but wet

One Day
... one day you're talking to your dead mother
... next day she's gone
... all your dead friends have moved on
... you're alone
..... no one to talk to but yourself

The Barred Owl
on my neighbor's
roof
the full moon rests ...
the barred owl
asleep
in the pines

hands on your heart
.......
the grief of remembering

I Might Have
... with clay from the high uintas
you fashioned a pot
... placed it on top of the piano
... I might have
broken it
on purpose
