I know no other way forward
we will never be
more or less than this

Geranium

I knew you in Paris
singing from every window
all red fluttering
and emerald light

Other

Other people live
in houses crowded
too many dishes
not enough hope

Reach

I have almost reached
my end again
begin to stretch out
this hand to touch and turn
the golden knob

Extractive Economy

Now I am used down to the last
What could I give now
not already laid on that gray stone?

Surface now, dear one
you have been drowning without
hope, raft, or dry land

Caution

Be careful what you wish for:
One day the very thing you imagine
will drape itself languorously
across your path
remind you of your longing
every unmet need
promise itself to you
ripe and full
if only you are brave enough
to take it

Past

What is it to tell the truth about your life?
Love lost, time wasted
on all the strangers you longed to be

Market

You promise yourself
again
to step down from the block
It is not them
but you
who trades yourself so cheaply

Grief

The day after yawns empty
as grief plays fear's tune
promises only more calamity
