a bird gone quiet
in the tender hollow
of your throat
I miss you more than words
can say I miss you
basking seals
on the breakwater
steam rises
from our sleek bodies
into otherness
an ant
pushing the universe
up this hill
in a water droplet
I find my inner strength
prairie dawn
an exaltation of larks
on barbed wire
ancestral blood pinging
along the gravel road home
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.
