Selected Work
 
outside the café
wind rattles the tables
the spider spins on
 
creasing the statement
into a sparrow
last mortgage payment
 
 
 
free from school
the chalk dances
across the sidewalk
 
a crumpled ribbon
snakes through the rust
the blush of dead ships
 
 
 
the hem of my dress
too wet for the wind
 
kittens nesting
within a heap of postcards
one man's garbage
