here be sirens

            five one-liners

                        now is forever

                                    only the words

                                                I was here I was I

Helen, enfettered

Nadja, Crito cipher

mean what they say

door songs for nobody

voices from killing jars

nine rake circuit breakers

what you think of in the city

wolf, purl, knock, crosshatch

I had a slow thought on a hard day

what makes it all go as the crow flies

into the world inverted, the sleep side

doors in the wall entre les Calanques

women birthed back in Ann Arbor

still Soper’s voice, music, sounds

tempt us beyond earth – to return
