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.

God loves a poet


Today, I’ll share two lines from each stanza of “God loves a poet”:

I beat the crap out of her again today
not all at once

I try to avoid her
“utility work, lane closed ahead, merge to your left”

for her, it’s easier to write
than talk

if she leads with the wrong foot
she falls
