Poetry
My Dying Father Reminds Me of an Octopus
Water is the meter of how long he will live.
Except, he does not drink today
and he did not drink yesterday.
Poetry
Searching
The magic carpet comes undone,
Red strings unravel, fly everywhere,
High winds downtown.
Poetry
The Bird Artist
You only carried two booksthe Art of Birdwatching and the Bible.
You went on expeditions
in the hills of Transylvania-
Poetry
The Iron Gate
The door leads nowhere you’d want to be.
Explore the negative spaces, the devil’s work
through your fragile, young body.
