In the Water
It’s cold down here, but I am used to the chill, And the fish are more friendly now than when at first I fell, And the weeds are quicker to dance than when my eyes first closed. It is my secret hiding place – nobody else knows. It’s dark down here, but I am used…

Illinois Is Overflowing
I’m so tired of water. Three inches of rain in the passenger side. The intestines of cassette tapes are shining at the curb, begging just one more play, begging just one more ride, but I just keep driving. I just keep driving. You close your eyes, three inches away in the passenger side. James is…

Georgetown
They took my father’s eyes Left me brown & colourblind Twisting in the wind Like he’d never been They took my father’s eyes Down in Georgetown on the water Fog rolls in off the river The winter’s dying A velvet death Drowned by college kids & epithets But they took my father’s eyes left us…

Gaze
the sun is snaking its shiny self up over these trees beam by beam its light’s reaching me it’s an unwelcome spy one half-opened eye watches the clock creep watches shadows sleep long-side me again night is like a long lost Lover rediscovering. It’s a twitch it’s a groan my body’s displeased I’ve been awake…
