we are just
passing by
melting snow

all is vanity
the snow falling
on a spring day

thick snow
erases
the world around me

small bird
flying through the snow
erased in the white

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

in the shower
I convince myself
that I’m not crying

for only in being lonely
can I ever be
alone

car didn’t start . . .
again
I need a job

careful u-turn
praying
I didn't hit the bird

TOP half champion

CHAMPION

BOTTOM half champion

haiku homework
I don’t feel
like being deep

faded quilt
reminds her of
postpartum blues

“American Dream”
what is
the point?

box in the attic
a baseball glove
and broken dreams

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

dark shadow
follows her
everywhere

the moon sits in the dark,
unaware of its gravity—
a text from mom

I stumble
in the darkness
new moon

masking the moonlight
a cloak—
of heavy city smog
