Falling Together, Falling Forever

rain drips from the eaves

a vine flowers, seed spreads

the chores I perform over & over

get dressed brush teeth wash dishes make bed

salvage give shelter hide hold


a center is of no use

adam, then eve — a gender theory

deep roots, a strangling vine

move along, move along as if it matters


I would be pleased not to feel guilty

I would rather not leave the chair

sat upon, cats upon

a third cat glides toward us

messenger angel


don’t pretend you can throw something away 

& forget about it

anyone who puts a controlling hand on anyone

should stop


daisy . . . day’s eye

the rate of rain dropping from the eaves

a poem a net of words

thunder, silence, green

air a web the rain weaves through
