sleep is a rhythm
swirls around pulls darkness in
as the night birds sing

Moth in my screen.
New Moon in Spring
Death of Squash (with apologies to Terry Pratchett)
death’s in our garden
picking out which squash will live
and which squash will die
Spring
plants bud and blossom
rain and mud replacing snow
as the sun comes out
dad’s old red backpack
hangs expectant on doorknob
awaiting a hike
The Ghost of a Kitten
ghost of dead kitten
watches decomposing corpse
shakes with private laughs
Keep reading if you want to know the true story behind this one
music is jewels
hung in sky between my eyes
water laps my feet
cat and fiddle underground
violin burrows
underground to meet brown cat
singing songs of mud
Rocks that fill my heart
dark cradles me
granite and obsidian
rocks that fill my heart
My Mother’s Strength
to some she looks weak
underneath she’s tough as nails
mountains in her bones
