then I
recalled running—and all I did
to shock my heart
Memory
11/24/19: Still Life
beside a silver
hairbrush, a red silk scarf
brighter than blood
11/20/19: When You Look
some green
seedling no snow truly
covers for long
11/17/19: Walking Back
passing through
shadows pointing against me
like thorns
11/13/19: What if Someone Is?
a wood’s path—forking
again and again—became
the space between trees
11/10/19: Memories of Camping
around
a birch, a pile of bark—
proffered pages
11/9/19: Heard
distant keening—
the sound of a bent saw
coaxed to sing
