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

Mama's humor


a stanza from “Mama’s humor”

I forget what my humor sounds like
before I was shot to death
before I couldn’t resuscitate
these days, I forget those anniversaries
sometimes I forget the tragedies
most times I forget how to joke
and I don’t remember what my laugh sounds like
