Poetry
Marginalia
This book I’m reading now my mother read / and loved. You can get this close to the dead / and no closer.

Poetry
Turning Fifty
It was a beautiful day, rainy-gray, foggy, dismal, perfect. / I was so happy because there was nothing to do / and nowhere to go and no one to meet, and never / in my life had I felt so empty and so full.
