Bio Note: There’s so much to be concerned about —the horrifying reality of war, extreme climate change events, global pandemic, to name a few—and these work their way into many of my poems. But, spring is in the air, and with it renewal.
History
Thumbnail of wonder. So many
mysteries have disappeared
into lost words we no longer
speak. Vestiges on a wall
I walk into. Bruise my heart.
I can be sorry for everything.
Peck at history. It just gets larger.
I didn’t know there was so much
more I want to know
even though it might break me.
