Excerpt: Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls
From “Rocks”
The little pieces you picked up.
The little pieces you carried once
in your hands,
held next to your body,
smeared onto your skin,
tugging at you:
the fragments you hold on to—
the ones you did not want to leave behind.
Excerpt: Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls
From “Spring’s Resurrection”
April’s not the cruelest month,
but a warm resurrection.
Excerpt: Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls
From “Severed Roots”
But the rainy season never came
and the drought never left.
Excerpt: Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls
From “Weeds”
as I scraped back bare soil—
the earth I once remembered—
the remnants of what I started with.
Excerpt: Weathered Fragments, Weathered Souls
From “Commuter’s Tears”
Oil rainbows evaporated in the rain,
leaving only the memory behind.
