1.
I Am My Father's Son And Daughter

On the eve of your graduation 
We sat mirroring each other
Each lost 
Each found 
...

2.
Springtime In The Rockies

Oh, New spring 
Solid rivers have sprung

Melted out of madness
...

3.
The Love For A Daughter

I look at you 
With your petunia eyes 
And candy ribbon mouth
A smile like the first snow
...

4.
When They Asked Me To Come Here

When they asked me to come here
I should have said no
Shut up in a room too small
...

5.
Ode To A Heart

The Heiress

They were all covered in it
thick and clingy,
cloying wax
white cream laced and tilled
...

7.
Knowing Ourselves Is Our Greatest Adventure

The darkness that spreads along the line
To divide the foamy white sea of light
Dive, dive back into the black
Your foul deeds of crushing bone and blood 
...

8.
Sleep On Good Night

The night sighs
while I say my prayers
stacking them as cord wood
to burn on the altar of God
...

9.
Love's Finale

I want to feel exceptionally strong
So I'll expose the paper dolls
And massage the cloudy chaos
...

10.
Out

I feel out

out
among the summer fireflies
...
