what a wonderful collection. these were poems i want (and need) to read multiple times. i want to carry this book with me for a bit, looking over specific ones every so often.

most poignant or potent to me:
- Homage
- Remembering
- Day & Night
- Incomplete
- Our Bones
- How We Meet the Day
- Vapor
- Farm Couple
- Our Stay was Momentary


of that list here is the shortest, but worth contemplating:

VAPOR

The fog of breath
on the window.

We write our name
on everything
that disappears.
