The Memory of Lemon Juice, Gaza 2024

The scent of leaves
we placed between our clothes
...

Unseaworthy

I creak like an old ferry
coming in to meet the wharf
...

This Year's Harvest

Ghosts of fires wash in
trees broken into blackened shards
...

Exquisite

Those wonderful, wicked
worrisome mouthfuls
...

Anemoia

When crows commend the day
as thunder rolls across the sky
...

Roses Among the Tomes

How sweet the scent
curling through the air
...

The Cretaceous Pearl

One million years ago
warm oceans swamp the land
...
