nearly awake—my
sixth grade life science teacher
tells me I’m dreaming
Memory
5/6/20: Junk Drawer Photo
your face
overexposed—washed by
effulgence
5/5/20: Stray Thought
just peeking between
weeds—the rusted skin of
abandonment
4/29/20: Memory’s Pools
evaporation
ever repeating, distilled—
royal jelly
4/28/20: Middle School Friend Long Lost
amid the cast
of last night’s dream—one burr
clinging
4/23/20: Time, Shrinking
each person—
a clockface divided by
growing years
4/17/20: Napping Dream
then a Texas-sized
lizard crept from under the couch
to loll in the sun
