There's a gaping hole inside my chest,
Below my neck and above my breast.
For your cheek and chin, that line was drawn,
A place to rest from dusk till dawn.

or you would have heard me say

Evening swells and spills
across his back and farther.
I collect handfuls.

If an easy rain
would make the rocks slippery,
he would hold my hand.

When I looked for answers

O useless sky – you disappoint,
brood mutely as I weep and curse;
you've had eternities to meditate, yet
I think of all the answers first.
