oleanders sway
in the cold winds
a
deadly tea
Eavonka Ettinger
new moon fog

murder of crow’s feet
unlaughable
lines

pumpkin pulp
wriggles through fingers—
creating
a new face

to greet the dead
a

Eavonka Ettinger
chronic pain
I hear the doctor
order
leeches
Lafcadio
*
pierced skin—
a wound too deep
for
blood to flow
Lafcadio
beneath the night
wrapped in soft blankets
finger
touching stars

river rapids
autumn’s brief romance
for
chinook salmon

gravestone
wanting to understand
her last words
