      • Here, hide inside me
      • Wherever You Are Is Called Here
      • In Praise of Water
      • I will fall in love exactly about a million times and then I will die
      • What you get is to be changed more and more each glistening minute
      • Mi madre bordaba lágrimas desiertas en los primeros arcoiris
      • Its all roar and cry and suck and snap
      • The rest is a faint echo
      • And the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
      • Forgetting and Remembering in the Same Instant
      • A need so great and deep it can never be swallowed
      • I cannot of course come back. Not to this. Never.
      • I was much further out than you thought
      • Ribs of disaster curving their assertion among the tentative haunters
      • Creation {of Melancholy Fate} by Supreme Being
      • Remember, ours is the animal eye,
      • I've been here my whole life still I'm somewhere else.
      • And its charms have a punch. And its hunches have arms.
      • Last night I dreamt again of thrashing and you on the far shore
      • Some of us just can't help ourselves—a little warmth, and we're goners.
