Excerpt

Winter Solstice Incantation

​Snapdragon petals, pink and yellow, rose hips, gold
paint chips tossed over my shoulder. Hellebore
 
and phlox, candles to burn through the long pitch-black.
This spell’s being cast at last light and you’ll come back
 
through the mirror’s crack like Lazarus from the dead
tonight if I can just find the right words. Close and closed,
 
what you were to me and a door slammed shut between
this world and the next. Outside, a wild wind whips  
 
through the trees, whispering its warning—what’s done
cannot be undone. Slippery as winter ice, you’re gone.
