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

Joppa

 


it’s not dark corridors I avoid

not that I pursue dark corridors

it’s that I eschew lit corridors

lit to blind a gurney

parked in an ER passage

a man curled in on himself

doesn’t hear my boots step past

when I leave Joppa
