For all the volume
it’s clear:
the stakes are low.

I live today and I will live forever
The flaw in the cat’s climbing –
that confounding fear of descent –
is a lovely flaw,
a flaw for the sake of the chick.
Where could this be?
Where am I?
I have tried to prop it open
I have tried to get it to where
if you came,
you’d see.
1, 2, 3
This set of three poems was prompted by the untimely death of a young mother. May she rest in peace and may her family know the consolation of a loving (the living) God.
1. SHE IS SCHOOLED IN THE HARDER MYSTERIES-
in the grammar of disappointment
and math of endless days.
2. WHAT IS SPENT
to prevent
the one final flare-out?
3. SUICIDE FLOWERS
Wouldn’t they make you sick,
your mother gone
and these instead,
pert with the pollen of dropsy?
What was it exactly
That came between us?
We are like the cat
And he is like Pepé Le Pew
Tree hugger
