Dawn Wood Poems

All I need to get us off the ground
is one example of the theory that you hold.

Stick with me and I will show you how
...

The house brought them, or they bring the house.
Oh, we're not outside, there's no toad, nor bats,
though there's a magnolia tree in the lane,
its waxy petals are out of season,
...

While I am here, she is my best friend.
She likes to blow bubbles
her breath is mine,
I am never empty.
...

Mitotic figures
Caught in the act
Tightly knit plots
Vogue! Ungainly pose
...

A plain package, brown paper, string.
And a felt tip-pen to write your name.
As if you'd just come out of hospital or prison.
Are these your belongings
...
