This blog features portions of my not yet published poems.

why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

I am your bridge

old plank across open ditch
cable-stayed
truss
cantilever
draw
bowstring-girder
arch
suspension
a beam
what you need
I am
your bridge
