if she can

put a coat on

to get in

clamp shut

the shutters

even as green vines

traverse the cracks

searching for an in.

On the forest floor

a mushroom blooms white.

If no one sees,

does it exist?

in the dark

tugging on the frayed sleeve

of a saint

shopping for passports

If My Poems Of Sorrow


burst into flame

I will smother them

in discarded blankets

living on smoke damage

till another poem arises
