Benadryl Dreams (I didn't see the hatman)
I'm trying to imagine a place that I glimpsed in a flash when looking in the mirror in half darkness. Some place with well lit buildings and hope. And a forest on the border of everything. Rooftops full of artists. A million things incomplete but ongoing. It was beautiful.

A moment, captured
- So many photos unprinted but ready to be born
- A rosemary chocolate bar between pages of a book
- A rainbow scarf, curled in a pile on the floor like a snake
- The deep blue night's sky bag full of clothes to be donated
- A room full of light
- A small crochet dragon pinned to a hat
- A mood ring knocked to the floor by a cat
- Laundry piled up
- Warm mushroom pasta in the kitchen
- Finals impending
- Winter impending
- Stories impending

Preparation Poem
Preparation
Grinding to a hilt
the knife is sharp
again you cleanse
with yarrow
from your hip
you bite willow bark
into thirds and brush
your skin with bottle
liquid absent of all
but brave spirits
and you feel watched
over by the so-called
yenta aunts who
whispered you to sleep
when you were small
and you hope
your sallow body
will not vibrate to the sound
of the funeral dirge.
No more stalling.
Let us begin.
they say she met a good end
--after the
dress floating
mermaid like,
finger ready
at the pin,
toes
on the edge,
motion
towards stillness--
but after--
after--
--
