Buried Memories Update!

My poem, Buried Memories, that I posted here in the summer has been accepted for submission on spillwords!

It can be viewed on their beautiful site here: https://spillwords.com/buried-memories/

Fragile Hope

What makes a person bring home and keep

the dying plants, the abandoned stuffed animals,

the mug that's been dropped and glued back together a dozen times?

I don't know, I lied and happened to glance at the mirror on the wall.

Every crack and flaw stared back at me with fragile hope.

One day it might be my turn.

Buried Memories

I see your face when I dream, though

I can't quite see the shapes I used to recognize.

You're only partially excavated, and

I'm not sure which way I'm tossing the dirt.
