“I know time like the back oh my hand:
the knuckles on my fist, blue
veins, two small dark spots. And I know
truth like the key I turn
in the door of our empty house.”

An uneven collection of poems: a few real gems here but a lot that didn't resonate for me. I also have another book of this author's poems that I'm planning to read, but wanted to start with this earlier published collection. I believe the later book are her poems related to dealing with cancer, which makes a few brief appearances in this book as well.
