Coyotes, Sex, and Cartridges: Mary in the Window
The American South sits in my throat like grief. Faded floral curtains on Either side of a square, stained window Brown flecks, sometimes red, like the one in My brother’s eye— Nobody knows where they come from. Do you think Eve and Lilith used to kiss? In the garden where no one could see? New Mexico coyotes, dug up from pond banks Smile at me...

Premium Member Martha And Mary
As human, with humans, like milk with water, you mingled. In you, love for anyone and anywhere got kindled. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were your friends and neighbours. They from you, and you from them, bestowed and received favours. As a sister to a brother, Martha brought you complaints. Mary was busy with immortal matters like the saints. Tell Mary to...

Premium Member To Mary Grace at Twenty-Eight
Your steps so measured, soft and slow, Through Irish streets where neon glows, While I match pace, half-step behind, Your gentle rhythm fills my mind. Tomorrow brings your twenty-eight, As Newbridge glows through Darragh's rain, Like Naevis' light through darkened skies, Where æ-dreams dance and harmonize. Sweet Mary Grace, my Savage star, From Milner Square to Kildare far, Your spirit bridges every space, My anchor home,...

She`s reading every...

Premium Member Mary
A moment in time frozen in my mind a younger you standing at the cusp of summer Wind in your hair, light in your eyes that rippling laughter that gave itself away to me, ... Beneath two loving arms fleshy dough rose as we gathered in the kitchen and spoke... How I long today...
