Selected Poems
— from “Summer Dusk” | I put in my goddamn hearing aid / in order to listen to a bird that sounds / like the side of a drinking glass / struck lightly by a fork
December 2010Lost Keys
Holding a black wire coat hanger in his hand, / bending a loop in the tip with a pair of pliers, / my neighbor Mr. Alvarado is walking down his drive
June 2010Selected Poems
— from “Wasp” | Why should I have to deal with so-called human beings / when I can be up on the roof / hammering shingles harder than necessary
December 2009The Social Life Of Water
All water is a part of other water. / Cloud talks to lake; mist / speaks quietly to creek.
