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.
