"Citizen" (2014) [p] +
"To live through the days sometimes you moan like deer. Sometimes you sigh. The world says stop that. Another sigh. Another stop that. Moaning elicits laughter, sighing upsets. Perhaps each sigh is drawn into existence to pull in, pull under, who knows; truth be told, you could no more control those sighs than that which brings the sighs about."
You give yourself back until nothing’s left but the dissolving blues of metaphor."
"Yes, it’s me, clear the way, then hold me clear of this that faces, the storm carrying me through dawn
not knowing whether to climb down or up into its eye — day, hearing a breath shiver, whose are you?"
"The White Card" (2019) [t]
