; A Tenderness so Painful


; asleep, she beheld him then

; to discover perimeter by where your lips land

; personifying the impenetrability of knitting

; a child the remnant of a fading illusion

; a bed for slicing oceans

; the purse pulsing from persimmons

; persimmon 

This poem will be in my 2006 book,
THE SECRET LIVES OF PUNCTUATIONS, VOL. I.
