Ekphrasis
1. Create for me a river made of stone so that I may look nothing like you. 2. One thousand moons. Rutabagas at slumber. Soft birds. Each of these have something in common: They look nothing like you. 3. A girl runs through an...
Hypochondriac
You and your wings have left me paralyzed---the 'skeltered wings hanging like crows' nests, indefinitely, fusing together like salt and ice. And she said: Please, do not call me darling anymore. The sky still carried some of the incense left over from a...
My Love For What Resembles
Flutter and burn, you turn almost sideways, glinting like those who lay un-described and silent. Lackadaisical birds. Tell me something other than your two methods of circumference, the legality of chloroform, the two figures lost in the dark on the other side...
Psychology & Wine
(I apologize in advance; this poem needs a lot of work.) Psychology & Wine 1. At first, when she was nervous, the girl peeled the skin from the back of her heels---nibbled her lips, crimson-blue--- until they were nothing but pulled onions, the pale moons...

Speech Impediment
You often says things in which I can say little in return—my growing deficiency—and the sky turns yellow. We lay a blanket in a field in the middle of nowhere and return to find it covered in earth that cannot grow. We lie in this space and stare into a sky filled...
Writing Process
This is one of those poems that is not very good, needs a ton of editing but will not get out of my head. I imagine part of it will be useful, but for now, this is it, in its roughest form. THE NIGHTSKY OFTEN LOOKS LIKE A MOUND OF FEATHERS. 1. Ever since you were...
