one protostar
brighter than any other . . .
the collapse
and fragmentation
of this molecular life
the birds that remain nameless
a capercaillie
emerges from pinewoods
into the open,
his glossy black fan
shimmering with light
we paddle
among marsh grasses
illumined
by the swaying suns
of yellow-headed blackbirds
outside
a coyote's den
nothing
remains but feathers
trying to catch the wind
Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit.

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
