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

lipstick and pretty shoes

Here’s the first stanza of “lipstick and pretty shoes”:


I think god’s a diatonic harmonica player
with one harmonica, god can change mouth shape and
change keys
doesn’t want my lipstick on the harp, so god never
lets me play
