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.

fifteen minutes



This poem takes a twist; I’ll share seven lines from fifteen minutes:


she’s a 15-minute woman


she showers


towels off


she fills an iron with tap water


she sprays her body with starch


lays an arm on the board


a pleasure pain
