Hoops -- Moose -- Bum rush -- Silk city -- Metaphor -- Maddeningly elusive, yet endlessly tempting -- Urban renewal -- The backyard garden wall is mossy green -- What he gave of himself lacked the adornment of lilacs -- Back then I has a ceaseless yearning. My breathing -- A squeegee blade along your tongue's length -- What of my fourth-grade teacher at Reynolds Elementary -- How untouchable the girls arm-locked strutting -- That moment in church when I stared at the reverend's black -- Out of punctured wounds we spun up, less -- Letter to Brooks -- Fern rock -- Olney -- Logan -- Wyoming -- Hunting Park -- Erie -- Allegheny -- North Philadelphia -- Susquehanna-Dauphin -- Cecil B. Moore -- Girard -- Fairmont -- Spring garden.
