How cavalier
people are-
with language
and with silence.
Any ghost will
tell you-
the last thing
we mean
to do
is leave you.
— Andrea Cohen, "Ghosting" (via Regina Rosenfeld)

Openings
by Andrea Cohen
Eternity has closed its doors--
good riddance! I didn’t want
forever forever--just this
pear tree, branches
backlit and the fruits
I can’t get to.

Flight Pattern
I was five when I found
the head of the wren
by the road. I was older
when I found its wing.
By then, it was impossible
to piece even the idea
of a bird back together.
— Andrea Cohen, featured in Diode Poetry Volume 16 #1 (source)

Andrea Cohen, “December, Brightening”
[text ID: I came home / late to the broken // porch light fixed— / handiwork of an old / love’s new flame.]

No Moon, But
I knew it was
the beekeeper who touched me,
not because she
tasted of honey,
but because she
was unafraid
of being stung.
