Brigit’s
Light: A Break from Rain
To
remind us of her presence,
the
sun opens her blinds
occasionally.
She
dusts the glass-beaded crystals
waiting
in windows
and
washes my space in gold.
She
travels across hushed waters
slipping
silently into the sea.

Womanhood, 2013)
Sun
Occasionally
she opens
the
blinds, to remind me she is there.
She
dusts the glass-beaded
baubles
swinging in the windows.
She
washes in gold light
my
bookshelves, my desk,
the
dust collected in the corners,
the
spider plant drooping on the sill.
She
goes about her day,
moving
across hushed waters,
gliding
silently into the wine-dark sea.

Yet to Be Named, 2017)
