Breaking the Surface














injury arrives on the outside

a scratch a weal a wen
brazen disfigurement

Two Minutes












I don’t need silence
for memory to work
even when remembering
becomes that different thing
remembrance

End All

















one hundred
years of war
to end all wars

gravestones
names inscribed
the written record
the dying and the dead
on every side
ledgers of death

Take This
















Take this, my body – break it – 
and this, my blood – to drink – 
thin, like rain.
