words haunt her

words haunt her

planting new things
flea markets and farmer’s markets
birthday cake
open windows at night
shades of green
long spring evenings

it was the bright blue desert sky
that she engraved into memory–
that day of heat and happiness

he dreamt in layers,
in waves–
in the space between breaths,
between words,
between ragged heartbeats

afternoon winter skies
atlas jars
small aquamarine on a silver chain
a plastic bottlecap in the woods
and the memory of your tender blue eyes

i watch the sun go down–
my breath hot on the wind
i watch the hawk ride the currents
and feel the earth slightly spin

tea with friends
thoughts of miro
sunny afternoons
colored pencils tied with twine
book sale at the library
shards of distant memories
kisses from the pup
this book: The Alienist by Caleb Carr and
this movie: Loving Vincent

carrying the rain, between the fog


against a winter sky

hiding in the snow
