Substitution
Sometimes, the hunger
that compels you to eat a
cookie is sadness.
Unbroken
The house of my heart
is white, clean, pure. No windows,
doors. No visitors.
Oh Christmas tree
We bring it home, put

TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our

inhale helium if it

Yearning
Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?
