			<title>A Valentine's Day Poem</title>
			<description>You look away.As I reach my hand between the folds of my winter coat,You shrink in your skin.I peel the heavy fabric away, exposing myself.Heart huddled close to ribs.Lungs squirming wetly in their purple-black cavity.You glance sideways, catch a glimpse andSome angry bile spills f..</description>

			<title>Underneat Our Paint</title>
			<description>Underneath our beautiful paint,We are all chipped plates.I didn&amp;#2013266066;t want this sweet potato, butI read somewhere that they can lift your mood.It&amp;#2013266066;s too hot to eat, and the plate is chipped.All I ever wanted was a series of windowsTo hang in my backyard from branches..</description>

			<description>We pointed our tent towards her, lay with our headsin her direction.Looked out at her in the dark with curiosity and fear.We listened for her breathing all through our slumber,steady and fast.We couldn&amp;#2013266066;t see her, but felt her writhing through the ground.In the morning, th..</description>

			<title>Wind</title>
			<description>All the pine trees have been shredded by your might.  The smell of their death reminds me of new cars and holiday cheer.  Every windshield is sticky with a mixture of rain and sap and green-brown needles.  I can see you outside, dancing through the trees.  I can hear you groping through the hallway,..</description>

			<title>A Trick of Light</title>
			<description>My eyes catch on the wisps of lightReflected on the water&amp;#2013266066;s surface.I wonder what it would be like if I just didn&amp;#2013266066;tTurn the wheel with the road.Everything is static.How long would it take to fill my tiny two-seater?If I went fast enough, could I make it to the..</description>

			<description>I always knew the strength of my mother&amp;#2013266066;s hand.Limp-lipped, she laid me down on a clearing of soft dirt.In between my thighs, she carved a small bowl in the earth.I tried to close my eyes as my mother, purring, put herCool, soft hands on my stomach.The men were out hunting that..</description>
