response to grief, mourning and visionary dream of a past-(im)perfect.
Again
She swore she’d never return
Again
Inside the nagging dream
Tide
Impossibly high
Frothy
White-washed blue
Endless
Thrashing
Against coffee bean colored cliffs
Craggy
That solid freckled Connie girl
White
Never liking me
I liked her horses and the idea
Why pretend?
Dulce voce: I’m coming home Dad
Whispered: promise, Mom.
Driftwood eyes
Weather-beaten ears
He dead
She dead
Dey dead
Cumulous clouds and horseshoe crabs
Puncturing
