He doesn't answer when I scream Into the dark, into my pillow, Into the hollow between breaths Where prayers rot. Everyone says He listens. But maybe He doesn't listen to girls like me. Maybe I'm the mistake in the plan. The broken thread. The shadow on the altar. They told me He loves the brokenhearted, But He watched when it happened, He watched, and...

Take it And Feed it tears shed in a lion's embrace After Bathe it in light bred in an empty tomb Then Swaddle it in crimson wool, laced with a lamb's blood And Tell it tales of swords made into pruning hooks While Singing lullabies of eagles' wings in winter, and mother hen's in spring Then Kiss it goodnight And Wish it dreams of lotus...

O God of blistered stars and silence, I crawl to You with blood beneath my nails— Not theirs, my own. I tore at shame like bark from skin, But it rooted deeper still. Do You see me now? A cathedral of cracked marrow, Where hallelujahs rot before they bloom— I cannot pray without trembling. The night — I dare not name it — Stitched its...

What we think we know From the history book as we grow About how we become humans Might just be a grain of sand in a desert Religion taught of the creation A good will of a bigger being Who from dust mold, better carves The most intelligent thing on Earth.

As we metamorphose away from mumbo-jumbo, we cleave to poetry, abandon prose. Science is the only one that knows. I saw it on “Colombo”. A laptop’s far more useful than a rose. Remember Walden Pond, and when it froze? Or when Aunt Bernadette prepared that gumbo? You won’t forget the north wind when it blows! America’s best movie? If it chose, the Number One would...

Pecco, Ergo Sum (I sin, therefore I am) Not an aimless ride on Sunday morning, But for a faith oblige I am tied to attend “Sinners!” the priest thunders from pulpit, “Repent, for your flesh betrays the soul!” Verses cascade from the book of the wise, Urging forgiveness to claim a seat In a kingdom beyond the grave’s cold embrace. I turn to...

(“The Mothership”, 2024, photo collage of original encaustics) The Scent of Musk What the world needs now Is love sweet love, No, not just for some…. And so it has always been. This is our heart’s desire and birthright, Yet the dream just slips away Held for but an instant Or reached for in vain. Thus we learned to cooperate Form bonds and institutions...

Religion and politics stay away I want to stay positive and play Religion and politics make me feel blue I’ll be me, and you be you No judgements between us if you please Do not care if you are Democrat or Republican I am independent, but won’t mention this with ease For division takes away from all kinds of friends and fun...
