Nearly There
I told them I was dead, but not a single person there believed me . . .
the sign said
turn back, road ends here
I waken
from a brief sojourn
in another realm
Encrypted
Somehow, it seems that I am always the last to know . . .
a crow scrawls
asemic messages
between clouds
I could never read
the writing on your walls
Weapons of Mass Destruction
I was incredibly naive to think that you would be my only enemy . . .
how deadly
these red lily beetles
in my garden
after a swift attack
only fallen soldiers
Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit.

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
