Ouroboros is a potent chapbook that touches upon the duality of light and dark. The everyday notions of life--people, love, memory, beliefs-- push the boundaries between positive and negative duality.


"European Pears"


Staring out
an Astoria
apartment window
I see
smokestacks
from your city-
façade clouds.
They form
into your face
faking me
fooling me,
feelings once
chained and sunk
at sea
now rusty,
scraping my flakey
fair skin
cutting me.
I never got
that tetanus shot
friends screamed
I should get,
so now your metal
lives in my blood
rotting me
from the inside out
like those European pears
firm strong
golden sweet
just take a bite –
juice drooling into
bitter brown slush.
