New Work Coming Soon
The day before the start of Spring,
Idyllic, I'm remembering...
Of course, it's obvious I've lied-
This was the day my mother died.
-Alicia Nikole Fuclés
excerpt from my forthcoming book, My Mother Died
A minute on the mainland seemed
The only time we knew;
Before my raft cast to the sea
Before the headwinds blew.
Beyond each calm inlet and sound
All refuge disappears:
Point Nowhere-place I run aground
Borne to the Isle of Tears.
