lives in Brooklyn where he doesn’t write on the fire escape, preferring, instead, coffee shops, when he is not earning his lavish living in publishing.

Spring?
That’s why my finger is half an inch
in the dirt, planting radishes,
setting off a convulsion of root and leaf
under a sun which is dying (naturally)
so that one day, when I’m thinking, maybe,
about what happens to light
when it reaches the edge of the universe,
I can salt the tuber’s white meat
with its mineral taste of earth
and the burnt-up star that made her
and bite into a thing larger than myself.
