Poems from Another Whale Dancing, v.1, (2014)
History Poem
I feel
like sad dust
late
in the shining sun
I feel
like I am flying
with the summer eagles
Inside my heart
I become a snowflake
that falls from the sky

Visitation
All night the rivers
twist. Bite each other’s
tails in happiness. I play suddenly
on them, twisted among them
and cry half shy, half
bird slithering over roofs.

5 Ways to Look at a Cat
Among three trees there is
a cat. No one can
move. Only the cat.
Among rivers you can
see a cat. A beautiful cat.
You can stare at him all
day without blinking.
Among a mountain, in a
box, inside a house a
cat sat. There was fire
but the cat was not afraid.
Among the roofs of
houses there is a cat
that jumps from roof to roof.
Among a castle were two cats.
One was King and one was Queen.
They were known as the rulers
of animals.
