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.

confession

Two stanzas from “confession” to share today:

last Tuesday evening outside the restaurant
there was a woman on the sidewalk
she looked hungry
she glanced at me when I left
I gave her a scripture card about Jesus’ love

back at the altar
I warm the cup with my hands
bring it to my lips
swallow your blood
I’m chilled
