The perfect petals puncture the fabric’s purple-blue, And silver-platter fins paint the water every hue. A globed sky has thawed, ripe with pine and sapphire stars— And the glinted sheen of the oil graze on your lips reminds me who and where you are: South; below the electric-white moon, Bright enough to bleach my bones and...

This winter, the dogs are hungrier than ever And birds get away from the rotten trees The children abandon the orchard every afternoon And the street cats wail in the lonely nights Every dusk of this December, I'll go sit on the cold bench of my orchard And look at the withering red roses Till the last ray of the sun departs The...

She was a proud Osage who loved her tribe, her family and her skunk. He had adopted her when he was a baby; he loved her so…. Will he spray me? Potential suiters asked, a bit afraid of this fluff ball. Only if he does not like you, Girl who Loves Animals replied. Her father sat at the edge...
