December 31: Old

the cold
at night he forgets
to breathe

December 20: Constellations

constellations all the collections I’ve abandoned

.

constellations
everything I’ve learned
and forgotten

.

constellations it all made sense at the time

I’ve forgotten

September 16 (Names out of a hat)

names out of a hat —
I forget not to wait
for yours

July 27: Full moon last night

full moon
once again I forget
to look up

city haze obscures the moon           uncertain dogs barking

moon caught in the trees
the neighbors gather
to watch it escape

milk and the moon stirred into our tea

clean plates
the conversation
drifts to the moon

the moon adds layers      soon he’ll be convinced I’m right

sleepless night
the sheets as white
as the moon

July’s full moon        the fan blows away its heat

full moon
behind me in the mirror
such whiteness
