1. Origin
Father tongue
Mother ship
Baby berth
You
Fledgling shame
Face to face
Angst unwound
Saw
Drawing dreams
Wildling soul
Silent realm
Me
Rearview gone
Ripped in two
Mingled grief
You
Black hole son
Torture cells
Marrow joy
Gave
Bread-soaked wine
Ocean lost
Arms enfold
All
2. Anchor
Missing rib
Pillow breast
Magnet grace
You
Love remade
Lightning eyes
Stigma style
Ground
Growing hands
Going gray
Pattern prints
Us
Belly laugh
Place to stand
Voice of peace
You
Golden cracks
Braided threads
Three of hearts
Became
Morning kiss
Midnight yin
Poet finds
