Graying
The novelty intrigued at first — / A gray hair! Yanked it out. Examined. / Coarser than the brown. Crimpy. Like a pubic hair / That lost its spring, and way.
May 2015Twenty-Five O’Clock
In this saved hour I want to praise / The otherworldly feel of it — / As if physics and gravity were a phase / Outgrown and now, at last, what we suspected / Was possible is possible, the future behind us.
April 2013The Twins
The five-year-old twins who wandered / From their yard were finally found
April 2011Has something we published moved you? Fired you up? Did we miss the mark? We’d love to hear about it.
