Drifting

Vulnerability is an opening

The shadows of attachment

I see you as a girl

The dry ingredients

Drifting and writing

You're always working

A feminist wedding

Inventing new sounds

You are dreaming of dreaming

Rosebush feelings

Heart in your pocket

A shock, and then what?

I count time by flowers

Things you can’t repair

Too little to remember

Two meteors, two roosters

Sad patriarchies

A machine for silence and hesitations

Are you writing a story?

Under a streetlight

I do remember the flowers

Student chronicles

Leaving checklist

The fingernails of the waves

Unemployment is a void

Leaving academia

Visiting a dying man

Being a coatrack

Tired mothers

The week before we leave

Can a mother be a comrade?

The eyes feel so heavy & I’m flustered

You enjoyed it?

Kid with a cold

We’re not all good enough mothers

A more important job

Stillness and Repetition

Darkness comes with the end of autumn

Your favorite car is Taxi

I tried to leave the room dry-eyed

The diamond is what powers the tree to keep growing and never die

Having been crying earlier

Some big departure on a long voyage

How you got so weary

Spinning and overflowing

We would spin and spin and spin

You can't get in the ocean

No, listen to your partner

I remember you, she said

The coldest morning

Faye's first dream

Easily defeated

Don't go, come back

Mornings

Do you pick the music?

The lions are not flowers

Stop idealizing femininity

Every way was up

One day he asked me

All life is motion
