September’s Sun

September’s sun wanes, slanted, weakened, leaving morning dew longer, lingering to reveal the spider deep in her lacy funnel lined by luminous prismed drops as countless as her eyes. I walk to pick the morning’s herbs and see ‪the shining‬ threaded webs woven among the sorrel, the bent bladed grass. I step carefully. How many times have I wrecked something beautiful without knowing?

Lecture on Fiddle




A man from Texas said: “I live in Texas
We have no fiddles in Texas.” The reason they’ve no
fiddles in Texas is because they have records
in Texas. Remove the records from Texas
and someone will learn to fiddle in West Virginia.
I am Virginia
I was Virginia
I am to be Virginia
I was to be Virginia
I am being Virginia
I was being Virginia
I had been being Virginia 
I have been Virginia
I had been Virginia
I will have been being Virginia
I will be Virginia
I will be being Virginia 
I will have been Virginia
I have been being Virginia;
Be Virginian.

I wish

Infusion

A day of paper
gowns and needles
singing doom

In your eyes
I can see
you don’t
expect me
to survive
in the wild.

February

For a second
you forget
it’s the dead
leaves
rustling
overhead.
