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

glass shadow

Two stanzas from “glass shadow”:

sometimes it’s blindfolded
intoxicated on a ballet stage
other times, it’s a brandished claymore

it flays my flesh
appears aloof, walls no one
sees, copes with day
torment, misery
at night, it spins in a disco ball head
it’s all I have
