like the way the dark sky
sings to us, like hailstones
fallen on weathered dust, clinging
to skin, the rust of winter
in this reddened Earth, dry dirt
and petrichor, the scent of words
brittle against the surface of
this coin, spun in motion,
forever, forever, for, ever
for Terry
This morning, the grass
crinkles with white frost of night;
an abandoned dress
Bundled up beneath
the stars, we're blanketed, still,
secluded; night chill
Hunting forest soils
off the path, after the rains,
where small mushrooms spawn
At what point
do we remember
the forgetting?
The letting of
memories, sliding
through doors?
I am that child,
again, worried
at what I left
behind

Summer's passing by,
as flocks of geese far above
loudly shout: good-bye
In an orchard lab,
scientists tinker with genes
to make an apple
With acrobatics,
the savvy salmon begin
the long journey home
Another
stolen moment,
locked in dance;
hands connected
ever – forever -
never in a million
will this music
stop beating -
two hearts,
needing the
other

Her quill, dipped in ink
crafted from Gall Wasp powder,
swoops in arcs and heart
