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.

Tuesday nights, 7:30, at Yonder , Open Mic.  This past Tuesday, I read the entirety of a new poem, “trinity”.  It’s raw.  Here’s the first stanza:

trinity

I sit in the living room

cover with a prayer shawl because I can’t pray

don’t know what to say

don’t know whether it makes a difference what I say, so I

cover me with a prayer shawl
