some poems from available collections:

[will miss]

/ the unique stagger
animals
in Ohio
have

/ a god
slow to pray
for the magician’s
loss / the fog’s

blood

[ghost whale]

at one with a lonesome populace

dream small, god…

about death
death
was a baby

[homage]

like some verbally abused parrot

the crow
the phone’s
god

[meditations on absence]

the ransom note
in suicide’s
dream journal

the ghost of the brainwashed rocking chair

fingers
teeth
who’s keeping
score
