the departure door
closed between mother and me ...

surging waves, one continent
and
English separate us

First lizard this year
on the mountain trail, tiny,

above the weeds in the ditch—
raindrops
on my arms

the bittersweetness
of pomegranate seeds …

kept in

of those seconds
accumulated,

into elephants
