Scenes of Endangerment



A windowless eye to black-out beautiful nothingness
[note the disappearance of a body
the mute God calls into soil]

Time & space cannot forget the brown root (hold me)
or conch (unheld) or in suspension, the ripe apple in September,

like dew, turns downward. Panic is produced
in the breath, born, expires as aftermath fires enraged,
bellowing text

in the throat

--------- tongue holds the presence of isolated spit
[she loves the pronunciation of quiver
small vibrato
an avalanche
formed in the slits her eyelids; staccatic dance]

…the awakening of a film occurs

Conceptual Cover


This is the conceptual cover art for my next book of poetry.  This book will feature 51 experimental sapphic poems set with abstract themes.  I am very excited to start working on this book-- a book which could be the most trying, but could also prove to be the most rewarding in a poetic sense.  I look forward to this challenge, and can't wait to get started.
