This is for Sally Bayan.  Her work is remarkable, outstanding and quite frankly she is to me the Poet of the Year.

She chooses wisely,
confidently, remarkably.
Her words crush
her words rise above ordinary words.
If words could stand on shoulders
her words would.
If words could scream from the page
Her words should.
They make tears flow
Relationships grow
and she lets the world know
that it cares.
