Words are the enemy
till sparingly used

And weighted with meaning
beyond p’s and q’s

They serve to release us
with imagery plain

Expanding the message
—in pointed refrain

(Bryn Mawr College: November, 2023)
Pulling the curtains
down on today
Shutting the windows
doors locked from the street
Putting the cat out
trouble abeyant
My house becomes quiet
—the past is asleep

(Dreamsleep: Ocotber, 2023)

nivek
flames far away set light to the horizon
every year we dance around each solstice
and close by a star caresses your skin.
She is only 3ft 4,
I could not adore her more,
That smiling face is always talking,
She is a little miracle walking,
Hide and seek,
She loves to play nurse,
Then...her treatment,
First things first,
So many challenges,
Each day is a test,
and when she is with us,
We are blessed
I work with a lot of special children. You're not supposed to have favorites but I can't help it this one is mine

remember when you
hit bottom
the ground is where
the flowers of the future
must be planted
