to the desert and sit admist
hundreds of hummingbirds--
their wings whirring and whirring
and whirring."

"the boys with smiles the color of mango pulp"
"as each day ends,
the wind wails for what we’ve lost;
the windows shudder for what is to come.

"delayed aubade"
"there is nothing left to exclaim. i’ve eaten
all the typewriter keys, pried each nail from each
finger and toe. when i scream, it’s into lush meadow.
the deer no longer run from me. they stride with grace,
the bloodied axes buried in their necks now permanent
parts of them."
