AYA BURTON

The Garden

This is what I have to give you:
two blistered hands and a
garden undone.
Japanese beetles with soft blue
​shells...

Christina's World

What makes a body
this tired, this removed...

Objects in Mirror

Somehow quiet now
         Parked car in the cul-
de-sac
​metal glinting silver in the cold...

One Year Later

Even after forgetting their
names
she can peel a plum with a
paring knife
​and sit on the circle rug...
