poems from the pandemic

Every time I see your name

Life keeps ebbing and flowing

Getting Acquainted

A Dream Deferred

if I were to tell you

my candle burns at both ends

in my mind, you’re not engaging

Prenups reek of pessimism

So much of the commonplace

Why should I listen to you?

There is a certain kind of scream

It all seems big now,

Suggested by merely two

You are fire and I am earth

I revel in the work of art

In Memoriam

Dear Stranger

this is just to say

metabolic acidosis

Today was a day of epiphany

Jump ship before it sours again

El Ruido en Las Calles (The Noise in the Streets)

Ode to the Forgotten

to whom it may concern
