the

of a moonflower trumpets
a wren's night song

Longing
the
longing
to hug my little daughter—
waiting for next
visitation day
my
longing
to belong to an another world—
a sparrow's nest
a
bird on my windowsill—
my longing
to fly in the vast blue
sky

Swallows
blind date
new bird
on the wire
two birds flit
from tree to tree;
home shopping
getting takeout
while his wife watches the kids
he
gathers worms

sun kisses earth goodnight
an explosion of crimson
drenches the sky
children buried in rubble
cry
for food and for peace
Belinda Behne
far away
almost beyond memory
my
father's voice
Belinda Behne
out of the ashes
wild violets
bloom
Belinda Behne
losing the path
deep in the forest
I find myself
deep in the forest
losing myself
I find the path
losing the path
I find myself
deep
in the forest

snowmelt
the slow drip and pooling
of
fluid from the old car

as if
he never existed
the
baby’s unmarked grave
