« colors | Main | Love »

a proper life

cat on the hearth
dog at the door

boots at the stoop
cows at the stile

thick coffee mugs
coat on the nail

chores to be done
eggs in the barn

hutch full of china
rugs on the floor

teacups of light
thin as a veil

beds deep & wide
feathers and down

done with the work
stars after dark

  • Disclaimer

    Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

    In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

    It is likely to be -- it is best if it is -- a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

    A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think -- but it is not necessarily biographical.
