Poem: Between Us
Between Us
because I know
it presents
an impass,
but it is there,
is between us.
You should be told,
it should be addressed.
I am afraid
it will be made worse
when you are aware
and, still, nothing changes.
Poem: Neighborhood Inhabitants
Neighborhood Inhabitants There was a fox once, and another time, otters, and now a peacock that we think got lost during one of the storms. She stays down on the other end of the street, though, does not visit us. We have a racoon family that stays in our tree some nights, and there is a baby lizard, a brown basilisk, who we have seen several times. It is not supposed to be here, is invasive and troublesome to the local ecosystem, as are the duck. I hear there are giant snails now who eat stucco or concrete or something of that sort. I have not seen one, though, I just heard they are here and big as my fist.
