I go wherever my ink leads
and write
for love

I write to bring light
into dark places
so others can see.

New Book! 7 Blocks...And Two Stories Up

Hi Everyone,

I've been away from this page for awhile, and here's why:

My first book of poetry, 7 Blocks...And Two Stories Up is officially published! It's about my journey from Los Angeles to Brooklyn while finding a sense of place, with all of the adventures in between. It's available through my CreateSpace e-store, also on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. To find out more about the book and place an order, please visit my page at:

Thank you for your support!

news

like mother
like daughter
a flower dies
the bud follows
no more blooms today

Rock

A rock that has no beauty
still serves a purpose.
It holds down the corner of my beach blanket
while I sit and think.

Travel

Two women waited at a bus stand
The young one wanted to go to Canada
The older one dreamed of New York
The young one said "This place has nothing to offer me, it's a dead end"
The older one agreed as the young one boarded the Bayfield bus
And she went back to Spieghtstown
Still dreaming of New York
I hope they both find destination and destiny
Waiting at the end of the line.

Life...matters

All life matters
from conception
to the grave
no matter what color
language
affirmation
education
affiliation
or ethnicity
if it lives and breathes
it matters
if it's alive
who is anyone to kill
or to pick and choose
which one is superior
or inferior
or civilized
or has the right to life
listen to what you are saying
look at the signs you carry
the causes you march for
if you say all life matters
you can't pick and choose
whose life you save
