Books Published:

tea's aftertaste (Bronze Man Books, 2011).

roadside violet
all the places
I've yet to go

warmth leaves
my teacup—
a child's cry

every place taken
on the finch feeder
September rain

distant galaxies
all the things
I could've been

harvest moon
rises above the branches
tea's aftertaste

snow day—
I cradle a bowl
of steamed rice
