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.

supplicate

This poem is still in edit mode.  Don’t know when I’ll be satisfied, because I find stuff to edit even after pieces are published. 


Here are some lines from 4 stanzas of supplicate:

my feet splosh putrid water

throw me a titanium rescue chain

draw me from my well dregs

 

I’m dichotomy

I’m devout

I’m detached

I’m kind

I’m callous

 

titanium seizes me, a treasure it presumes I am

 

I’m nothing

I’m everything

I’m nothing at all

I’m every

single

thing
