she is (poem)

Appeared in the the print zine DIRT, January 2017.

she is

she is a forest island in the desert

she is a hidden spring

and ferns

and pools of water

she is wind

in which hawks and crows

hover

eye-level

I am her tower

on this rocky butte

this old burn-scarred mountain

looking for fire

feel her moving around me

in my cot at night

humming metal

bats clicking outside

I wish

Appeared in the zine DIRT (print) April 2016:

I wish

I wish I could ask you

to come down here to the desert

where the sunsets stay red longer

and brighter

and hawks hover

at eye level

in thirty-mile-an-hour winds

hunting

up here in my tower

on this forest island

where everything wants to scratch

poke

and bite you
