our canoe
noses through mist . . .
a new day
opens before us
into possibility
an old dory
grounded on a sandbar,
its faded flag
the listless reminder
of my pirate dreams
a yellow leaf
lets go of the tree . . .
she held on
long past the time
for surrender
ancient graves
sink into marshland . . .
the long bones
of our ancestors
wandering, still
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.
