The charlatan bilked them // Out of what they’d said was sacred. // The lion's teeth specialize in cutting meat.

stumble // through snow // mounds // belly-deep // form // elemental // letters
living for a while in a hospital // is living in the world of footsteps // and changing emotions.

it's october. fireworks bang // like cracked knuckles.
It was there all along: // a knot beneath the skin, // a stranger's tongue in darkness
One Saturday afternoon in the shoulder // season between calving and haying
I hate rich people, // my son says, spat // from the belly of the bus // that each day returns him // to dry land

By Lucinda Trew
snow is coming // so are trucks carrying // glacial tons of salt to season // winter and cure streets // with brine
The locals, believers of gods, drink tsipouro long into the night // And brag to me about how lucky they were to be born here
