#1
The noise,
The noise,
The melancholy white noise
Write me home.

#2
How can we bear the beauty of this
Small fish in the reeds,
Alone, for such a
Short moment,
Her rippled splash gone.

#3
It is not seemly for me to hunt
When the softness leaves me too quickly,
Where is my husband in the
Hunt so I can tend fires?
Winter comes.

#4
Our eyes met when your sleeve caught on the nail.
You removed it and we shared a
Laugh over the victory.
Your puffy face and old sweater
Looked as if you would have been
A comfortable friend instead of a
Stranger with no strings attached.

#5
Potlatch
One crumb left
Raven
Eat it
And leave me full

#6
Tea leaves and dreams
Giggles and screams,
Don’t read them wrong.
Become the dreamer,
Become the dream.
Drink the tea.
Sleep.

#7
She kindly left
The back door of the mansion ajar
For the Lost One
Who could not enter
Through the front.
