An empty chair,
A hollowed pillow,
an unmade bed,
A singing clock,
An
absent name.

closed between mother and me ...
fifteen years later
surging waves, one continent
and
English separate us

First lizard this year
on the mountain trail, tiny,
resolute.
Yay spring.

we should have
kept in
touch,
but the weight
of those seconds
accumulated,
ants
into elephants
