spooky halloween
sunrise carves clouds like pumpkins
new ghosts kick dead leaves
For Ntozake Shange and Maria Irene Fornes
loss accumulates
too much pain for poetry
hope falls like timber
perfect metaphor
total battery failure
grateful you filled heart
bask in brief sunlight
bright transitory freedom
hide tears in fresh rain

heart leaps upwards
mistaken leaves for footsteps
inquisitive mink
milkweed fluttering
encounter stiff resistance
insulate my heart
frosty reception
soften edges magically
learn to thaw own heart
