the sheen
of mermaid's toenails . . .
another oil slick
(note: mermaid's toenails are shiny mollusk shells)
Lineage (a split ku sequence with Christine Villa's work in italics)
family ties
it always
winds down to you
summer river
the horizontal roots
time capsule
we pry the lid off
our youth
of rubber trees
tire swing
our laughter brighter
than the sun
