Heaven is a Place in West Palm Beach
I breathed through the tube and didn’t die, and finally I looked down and saw them. All these small fish streaking by, silvery and orange and pink, hermit crabs scuttling around the rocks, tufts of seagrass with tiny shrimp.
A Pain So Common
Sometimes she’ll circle whatever town we’re in with a wine bottle between her honey-brown knees, passing the bottle to me now and then, tussle my curls and kiss my hand.
A Nigerian Mother’s Guide to Dewinging an Angel
He swears that he can feel them sometimes, phantom appendages on his back twitching and thrumming with unlived life. “I swear mummy. I swear.”
“Bloody Murder” & “Looking at Rubenstein”
I like the look of old, liver-spotted hands
Playing Rachmaninov with complete agility
Pounding out the chords or whispering the pianissimi
American Childhood Elegy
Once I slept in a hamper of my parents’ clothes
it’s true it started as a game of hide and seek
I was six I think and chose mom and dad’s hamper
it smelled like yard work and cigarettes and PE
clothes
