"Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer."
Barbara Kingsolver

Eden in the Rearview Mirror (Word Press),

________________________________

now and then, the lost

slip through,
inhabit my ghost hunger

this far away,
4 a.m.,
birds start
moon-swallowed songs

the room turns
river with blue light

the narrow bed,
a crumbling bridge
above
the river, freighted with what-if

the night breeze
on my body (thin wet
slip on clay

the lost arrive, shadows split
and sheer as watercolor
on the wall

this bridge between
night and morning,
then and now,
not so far

it takes me over
