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.

—Cindy B. Stevens

a metal me

a few lines from “a metal me”:


I rip me open

I’m exposed, except for Elijah’s mantle that spills over me

like a surgical drape


should I wait?

should I leave?

should I pray?
