At your light side trees shy
A kneeling enters them

Escape Plan

I examine
my skin

searching for
the pore

with EXIT
over it

Sleep

We brush the other, invisible moon.
Its caves come out and carry us inside.

The only response
to a child's grave is
to lie down before it and play dead

Poem (After your death...)

After your death,
Naomi, your hair will escape to become
a round animal, nameless.

Poem to Poetry

Poetry,
you are an electric,
a magic, field--like the space
between a sleepwalker's outheld arms!

Goodbye

If you are still alive when you read this,
close your eyes. I am
under their lids, growing black.

Hair Poem

Hair is heaven's water flowing eerily over us
Often a woman drifts off down her long hair and is lost

Ancient Measures

As much as someone could plow in one day
They called an acre;
As much as a person could die in one instant
A lifetime--
