Living on a small Island in British Columbia where it is quiet and the nights are dark. I need regular escapes to the Big Smoke. I do a lot of staring into the great black abyss of night. Probably anxious. Observer and seeker of happenstance.

A shock of yellow daffodils growing outside my gate. Persephone has popped up from the underworld. A Spring bouquet. Happy Woman’s Day!

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Large deer hide with shell beadwork, made in early 1600s by Algonquian speaking peoples, named for Wahunsenacawh known to the English as Powhatan; first recorded in England in 1638 and now in the Ashmolean museum

On the way to the library I made a little detour for a peek at Powhatan’s mantle - always feels like I should bow

SELF-PORTRAIT WITH PRAYING MANTIS

At Scull Creek in Fayetteville, Arkansas

Moments after the sky declares the rain absent, it begins falling roughly through the leaves. I miss you, and worse, I want to say it the way another poet would.
The creek is green-gold, the water moving around stones and slabs of concrete. I walk loudly
through it, feel it wrap around my ankles. Last night, at a motel in Sallisaw, I watched a row of pale blue doors lean into sunset, like words in an aching sentence.
My shame is that I didn't believe you, not fully. Beneath the rippling surface, there's stillness, clear and cold, where tiny glinting fish form patterns only to dissolve them.
