• Day 14

  you offer to wipe the snow from my car yet again there is no way back now, I cannot even pretend

• Day 10

  I dreamt of Franko last night; we slipped together easy, sighing hard, and watched an old woman die dancing bold in the next room

• Day 8

  daffodils unfold stretching pedals to endless evening sky; breathing deep, shoulders unwind, arms reach wide across earth

• Day 5

  you sought to fill me as if there was space I did not want empty; the sky holds nothing

• Quiet hour

  Whisper with me, deflate joy, let its steam exhale. Take cover with me from babbling, tumbling squall. Escape now with me to a solitary inch of grassy earth. Lay here with me, our breath smooth, civil, disobedient. Ponder with me leaf shadow pressing on black wall, swaying in street light, silence holding. Tame with me…

• A rose on the first day of winter

  Still deep pink, regardless of the snow settled between its petals. I ask you how will your innocence hold up,
