Poetry. "the voice makes the/ corpse in yourself younger/ no longer in the months/ of kindling/ the braid of danger/ with honey, dragging/ the casket into the year/ before lightening/ spoke to unity/ to end up between/ the wire and the depths . . . I thread my way through recall/ now strip the flesh/ while growth/ is safe with eyesight"—from "3." Other work includes "The Carrying Stream." Saddlestapled chapbook.
