Stone, and the Hour Before Dawn
A sequence of seven short poems, written at the kitchen table, in the year I learned to sit with not-knowing.

I.
The kettle knows.
The kettle has always known.
It is kind enough not to say.
II.
Stone is patient weather.
Weather is impatient stone.
Between them, a life.
III.
I woke at four.
The house was listening
to something I could not hear.
