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

a b o v e

a man in ER waits

sits beside his expectant wife

wonders why I stare at them

 

it’s mindless television

closed caption

daytime soaps

 

local evening news

twice

game shows

 

I watch

it’s all above his head
