From the collection published in 2021, And Don’t Come Back.
One Last Time
The clock in the kitchen ticks
but I am inside the silence
of hearing only the spoon that rings and rings again
against the curve of the mixing bowl
a sound the clock put behind me
so long ago

Loved this poem. There are different ways to measure the passage of time and ways to disconnect from time or connect with larger spans of time.
