[peach blossoms . . .]

peach blossoms
against the slate sky
of her blindness—
she asks
when will they bloom

[locked in the curio cabinet . . .]

locked
in the curio cabinet
of my heart . . .
a Dresden shepherdess
still spilling summer flowers

[every summer . . .]

every summer
an orioles’ nest
suspended
at the tip of a branch
my dreams of flying

[goats' eyes . . .]

goats’ eyes
deep marbled spheres
of blue and gold
the cosmos
tugging at my zipper pull
