POEMS
“
Lover, I wanted to wipe away your burdens or at least shoulder them the way you shouldered mine, not as a pack animal or a slave, but as a soldier carries his bleeding comrade back from no-man’s land safely home
SAPPHO WISHES FOR THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN
“
when the world ends, will it be a quiet death? / will society give one last rattling breath when it goes? / or will it scream and rave until it chokes? / all empires fall; all souls turn to dust.
IN THE AFTER
“
give me a chart. something on the horizon. bandage my palms bloodied by ropes all these years. put your hands on mine and remind me what it is to stand on solid ground—i am so tired of the salt-air.
