- Things We Put on a Hill
- Closure
- The eruption of the new
- The Fencing of the Table
- Fire-fields
- from light to obscurity and darkness
- Indenture
- its resonance deepened with many viewings
- It makes us feel white
- It pushes below surfaces
- nowhere to be seen
- Perpending Midgic
- the place of memory and contemplation
- Safe Passage
- Succor in Abandonment
- Ten Years On
- The Last Home
- The thought can needle
- through the darkness
- Tidal White
