Rae Armantrout Poems

Card in pew pocket
announces,
"I am here."
...

We love our cat
for her self
...

The ghosts swarm.
They speak as one
...

Quick, before you die,
describe
...

If I didn't need
to do anything,
...

Local anchors list the ways
viewers might enjoy tomorrow.
...

What if I were turned on by seemingly innocent words such as
'scumble,' 'pinky,'
...

If sadness
is akin to patience,
...

Anything cancels
everything out.
...

Did I say I was a creature
of habit?
...
