Poetry Excerpts

Forbidden

The white teeth of the fence cannot keep you in,
cannot swallow you in another convulsive fight
dark throated halls of the house you loathe—
Picket. Take a stand. Jump the dull incisors
and heave your torn skirt towards freedom.
Towards the singing. Do it again and again.
Do you know what is waiting for you?
You are going home.

-Excerpt from the chapbook “No More in Darkness,” published by dancing girl press.

Parang La

The sky splits above us in a dazed yaw
or maybe it is my body pitching

sheering from rubble or the unsteady heave
of stream, dither of air above bare snow

pox of black spots beneath bitter lashes.
It is the horse skeleton, half buried in ice

a barely visible dupe, sad distraction
from the trap of huge crevices below

a mirror of white, whipcracks that knock me
to my knees as sun magnifies and ice warms.

It is a treachery of scalded lungs and footing
and lukewarm wanting. At the top I don’t cry

from joy, something unbearable in my survival
and my strength.
