The Pieces of MeI open my bathroom door,
Clothes on the floor,
I look in the mirror, but the reflection is not me that I see,
But the people I loathe instead.
It’s crazy to think that the people that hurt me,
The people that I hate,
Are the people that make up me
The reason I wear makeup,
The way I talk how I talk...

Thank God(Early stage of “Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)
Thank God
Waves come and waves go
Relentless as always
Sometimes big, sometimes small
And still they come
But in the end
What more could we ever wish for
Or expect than simply this
And in that is the ultimate solace
Waves come and waves go
And in the end what more could we want
As we...

Our Better Angels
I wonder, yes I wonder,
how many angels do we have in a lifetime?
They say,
we each have a guardian angel watching over us.
I wonder, yes I wonder,
if some angels are in training?
Do they need to earn their title,
with on the job training?
Then we have,
Our Better Angels.
The ones we can count on through thick and thin.
The ones...

Once more I want to thank you FatherOnce more I want to thank you
Father
For everything you did for me
Through all the years
You gave me the gift of life
After you had created
Me in you image
You had given me
Grey hair and brown eyes
You tell me that I am
Beautiful you in your eyes
Father I don't agree with you
At all
Father you are untitled to your opinion
I...

Dear MotherFor Dwina, in celebration of Talia's
graduation from high school.
Dear mother, warm around me--
tender home for just this while;
so close together, you and I
I feel good when you smile.
Dear mother, here you've brought me
to this world so vast and bright;
oh, hold me close, protect me
and we'll rest here, for the night.
Dear mother, I'm so hungry--
right away,...

Thank You India
Thank you for the culture so rich and colourful
The silk woven fabric, tribal clothes, so wonderful
Thank you for the rice, chapati's, and street food spicy hot
It touched me the poverty though
Which showed me to appreciate how much I have got
Thank you for the cows that wander in and out of traffic
The rickshaws, chaa...

Lord Make Things RightI thank You for the day
That You let me in Your life
My heart filled with excitement
I was thrilled with sheer delight
But somehow it has faded
And I can't feel the warm sunlight
My thoughts of You are jaded
Come close, My Lord, make things right

Nothing Like A Thank youFor the favor you did but never let me forget,
for the “no pressure” laced with regret.
for every “no big deal” that came with fine print,
I paid with a thank you,
and smiled like a flint.
For all the gifts that came with a clause,
For the cheers while citing my flaws,
For every applause wrapped in dissent,
I returned with...

My Translator“Mom, they called my name I won.”
“Mijo, estoy tan orgullosa de ti, qué bendición.”
Her voice lifts when I tell her.
Like music in a language they don’t teach in school.
At the store, at school, at the doctor’s front desk
I become her mouth. I become her ears.
They...
