  • stillborn (redux)

    I am sick of the silence left lingering in the wake of a baby born stiff and still: the corpse blue with its little arms and legs curled inward as if warding away death’s embrace; don’t hold me, you aren&rsqu…
  • Birds of a Feather

    It isn't enough to say, “I miss you.” But that’s the truth: I miss you. I miss you terribly, In ways I can’t begin to comprehend, Or even write. I miss you the way a bird With broken wings misse…
