The carrying: poems

1. A name

Ancestors

How most of the dreams go

The leash

Almost forty

Trying

On a pink moon

The raincoat

The vulture & the body

American pharaoh

Dandelion insomnia

Dream of the raven

The visitor

Late summer after a panic attack

Bust

Dead stars

Dream of destruction

Prey

2. The burying beetle

How we are made

The light the living see

The dead boy

What I want to remember

Overpass

The millionth dream of your return

Bald eagle in a field

I'm sure about magic

Wonder woman

The real reason

The year of the goldfinches

Notes on the below

Sundown & all the damage done

On a lamppost long ago

Of roots & roamers

Killing methods

Full gallop

Dream of the men

A new national anthem

Cargo

The contract says: we'd like the conversation to be bilingual

It's harder

3. Against belonging

Instructions on not giving up

Would you rather

Maybe I'll be another kind of mother

Carrying

What I didn't know before

Mastering

The last thing

Love poem with apologies for my appearance

Sway

Sacred objects

Sometimes I think my body leaves a shape in the air

Cannibal women

Wife

From the ash inside the bone

Time is on fire

After the fire

Losing

The last drop

After his ex died

Sparrow, what did you say?.
