King Baby is a cycle of lyric poems both inspired by and addressed to a found object made animate then made into a confessor by the poet’s fascination, and by a love that alternates between the familial, obsessive, and devotional.

Untitled”
Your form is always with me as I walk,
empty and pierced. Today I stopped to see,
and touched by seeing, sparrows in the bittersweet,
deep in a copse of thorns,
their bodies soft among the sharpness,
indigo in that light.
Not mottled-slate. Not bluish-grey.
How good to find distraction
in precision.
