stole it from a mysterious place
pink and hidden
and dropped it into a sterile plastic jar
left it on the counter

recalling simplicity
of desire and flight.

body crumbling beneath the weight
of imagined demons
You cross forgotten deserts
scorched deities ignoring
your noble farce
The buddha’s eyes narrow

biting air
on skin still warm
from dreams of you.
shuffling across
chilled floorboards
the shower welcomes me
with a hot caress
that allows the fog
to linger. . . .

if I could breathe,
i would scream your name.

I walked in
lacking expectation.
But there you were,
finally,
looking in my direction.

your clouded window,
recognize who sits

her first thought
is of the myth of the Yup'ik

how did I exist without you,

The hole is widening again,
pulling me in,
bruising my imagination,
slowing my breath.
Last month was one year
since I first saw you,
and it was time to return.
But my body betrayed me,

no darkness slowing her progress.
