So cold
in its openness—
colder yet
in its promises

4/14 poem Cartography Back in the days, I worked mostly on my geography— Sounds of wine glasses clinking, maybe a breeze from wind through trees; scant description from little events as life continued to widen: semester grades were posted, a dissertation was written then torn up; there were hangover...

4/13 poem
Another April 13 in Minnesota
After the sun melts,
I meet your featured hands—
a finger touches me,
gazes calm us.

4/12 poem
When Night Comes
stars swarm, collide
and I stand on my deck—
I do not enter the grass,
my yard full of shards.

4/11 poem
Dropping the First Shoe
Don't worry,
she says, almost
in-confidence,
I'll be back
before you realize
I'm really gone

4/10 poem
Vagabonds
We attempt to heal
our children like some kind
of morality play—
pushing them like leaves
into creek water, and watch
as they float away.

4/9 poem
Barometric Pressure
Barely broken, this April
small town sleeps
among awakening grass.
Coming snow will make little noise,

in the middle of a quiet life.

4/8 poem the Modern Narcissist It’s worse than meth but no one talks about it— uncomfortable, you know, especially when you’re a big shot, hot potato with twelve hundred Friends. Just so you know, I never expect to hear from anyone, who wants expectations, anyway— hoping but not believing, not belie...

Sorry, I’m Lonely Tonight
In despair I toss

Late Again, Dammit
Only the curious
