Theme

Cast No ShadowI don’t walk toward death. / I walk toward my fellas' needs, / Toward the kids in their beds,

petalsi close my eyes / and i am there as / my soul so leaves me

Vow Without A PromiseI couldn't think of what / To promise at this altar but / I can tell you these things:

DreamsThe very second / we wake from them, / they can be so very, very

I knew a poetess, Mariya (tribute, in my meager way)I knew her for a moment / like passages in rhyme / her heart a gentle flutter

Palimpsest with Fire-Bombing TeethHe finds her work the way a cut finds salt— / by accident, by hunger, by the old compass that turns toward ache. / He sits with the pixeled book open like a door blown inland by weather,

Rolling Earth & Big BarragesPlease lend me thee a borrowed psalm / Of some kind of light / Leaking through an open palm

When You Leave Letters For Each Other Inside The Apartment**Dear Taliia,** / Comrades making hundreds of crazy / TikTok dance videos in the forest

One Month’s MindThey gathered the way people do / when there’s no right way to gather / by accident, by necessity, by love.

The Things I Am NotI am not the things that have happened to me. / Let those words stand like a cup on the table, / plain, chipped, steadfast ...

Jupiter-Venus ConjunctionWe lay back on stone-cool earth in the Góry Świętokrzyskie, / July breathing spruce and flint. / The Milky Way—Trail of the Ancestors—

Beneath the FrostBefore dawn / the sky is the colour / of opened flesh,

CharterWe sign nothing on paper. / We take oaths / the way frost takes a field—

The Gunners PathWe walked where the maps gave up, / where the wind had no manners / and the dust clung to your boots

The Piper Walks First“Where Courage Finds Its Sound” / *** / He walks out front.

Woman in International Waters*Another moving vessel,* / *this woman.* / *She's a delicate piece of machinery.*

Before Christmas, I'll Be Back"Before Christmas, I'll be back", / John said, and he departed. / He left his wife and his child

A Fathers Tears / A Fathers Heartache— two stories, one silence — / ________________________________________ / A father…

COME HOME, SOLDIERSCome home, come home / it’s been too long / since you’ve been gone.
