Slipsliding down the neon dream of days
into a falling tree’s bum knee, to ship
hideaway.
Messing tidbits ironed doors---my city’s nightshade;
sunny into bed
under covers of light to rushes for tomorrow:
hatching plans of near laughing cord----
umbilical God.

She is currently completing her MFA in Creative Writing (Nonfiction) at The New School and writes personal essays, memoir, and criticism often wrapped up in her Croatian-American experience, food, film, place, history, and things of a cosmic nature that only exist in her head.
