An excerpt from the poem, "Numbers"
"What day were
you born? Which
time-capsule
year is embedded
and buried inside
you? What hash
mark on the
timeline do
you stretch to
reach, touch,
by reading,
by memory,
by scratched and
encoded
desire?
Which slanted
numeral encrypts
the details of
your soul?"
from "Numbers"

A Little Bit About the Author
Welcome. The power of poetry and all art lies in its ability to both comfort and disturb, reopen wounds and heal them. I hope you'll find a place here to experience a taste of all of these. I have included a few poems to walk through, all previously published in print or online magazines. There is also a place to view my artwork. Please feel free to rest, heal, and stay awhile in The Garden of Now.
