• Divorce's Daughter
  I am the dream that dfid not die ravaged child of love denied witness to a history that no longer matters the face in the mirror times hand has shattered
• All Whispers
  Life speaks softly in between the silent spaces left by the husband who no longer hears you.
• Requiem For A Son
  You came to me again last night through a dream no one can steal. I reached for you with arms of lead

  In the endless nights that follow her death, I gather my trash bags and swing them like a weapon

  Panther, Oh Panther Your eyes flash fire as you stalk invisible ghosts in the mist outside your cage.
• I Am Your Child
  I Am Your Child My eyes blaze a hole into what is left of your soul.

  The Heavens reached down for you. I lost the tug of war. Your hand slipped so easily from my own as I lost the game
• Silent Springs
  It is easy to hide no one can tell you flew apart you have fallen too many times you grasp for hands that are not extended
• The Phoenix
  The glowing bride floats down the aisle a vision in white with an ethereal smile. The sour faced women housed in their pews politely pretend this is nothing new.
• Conversion Of Innocence
  You never lose your innocence until you walk toward death. The heartbeat stills, the void immense, airless swirling, earth without breath.
• Stargazing
  After midnight the stars went out vanishing the fleeing moon darkness holds our hands as night takes it's tumble toward the day
• Kismit
  
• Analysis 101
  You say we will chip away until the mind rests sane. Bu never did I hear you say your sculptures burn in pain.
