    No.

    For Gregg 1946-2023

    your pillow scent hurtled past
    I couldn’t grasp it

    blast wave gut punch
    blast wind

    spiking lightning
    from a burned-out god, signs

    o...

    I think of you that last day
    Happy–probably drunk,

    Before the paperboy
    delivers the news,
    Before the sun has broken the horizon,
    Before the coffee machine starts
    the morning brew–

    I sit on the bed,
    run the ebony comb
    through my matted hair,
    and listen to it snap th...

    Though I cherish
    the quiet I have earned,
    there are days I miss
    the whisper of animals
    all around me

    I’m easy to please
    I’m easy to forgive

    Nervous purr, saying
    Do what you must,
    just be quick
    just be gentle

    Next come the sick
    cradled...
