The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.

Separation

I have not written.
I have not called.
Do you believe
I cannot speak?
Is there an ocean between us?
I am lost at its edges.
I hear a river in the distance.
Is it your heart
flowing away?
Are we reduced to stars
in everlasting silence?
I hear only breathing,
unable,
to make my words.
