every poem is anonymous.
Lord, keep your rumored
all-knowing eyes from seeking
out the dark secrets of
my damp and shadowed
sheets. I'm not your child, only
a private woman
loving a quiet

earnings remain mine.
You who --so I heard--
breathed my name at conception,
wrote my life in your
Book of Life, told my
sordid tale in black and white--
just leave me alone.

never died. They knock on doors
mid-week, hammer in
rainstorms, burst into
crowsong at shiny things or
when a person dies.

i struggled to reach
you, but the silence piled on
itself-- heavy, and cold.
