The Fire in the Mirror

Preface Oh writing!! What a journey it is each and every time! My writing and self-portraiture feed off of each other. Recently, I noticed that water has been a common theme in my self-portraits.

My initial line of thought as I began to write centered around Natalie Wood, who […]

Day of the Living

Preface It has been almost a year since this story was written. The writing process fascinates me in so many ways. Having taken nearly a year off from working on it or even reading it, then going back to it, I was struck with how this particular piece has become a personal manifesto of sorts-it marks a turning point and perhaps was a catalyst for personal development. The first draft of this story was written in conjunction with a very […]

The Wave

This stormy afternoon Every story in stare Pulling my hair for Pages torn too soon A curtain of words Remain everywhere Pages and strands Pages and strands The night is absent Flickering cigarettes And green fairy absinthe Leaving your breath For my burdened body Made to never forget Vertical hands Vertical hands Washing the day’s start Already…so far away Nature meant change For you, the fourth tide For me, taken in it’s wave The just in case… […]

Ocean Verse

Ocean Verse seeking the skies below on a solo powered flight as jagged air meets gentle dust she flies backwards protected like a pinecone in a purse between cerulean highs and goodbyes she sinks upwards curving to the water’s feet every energy is reversed in this place she’s forever seen but could never uncover she calls the vital force becoming her own wave crash-testing the outside the seraphic octopus songs bubble her to low tides all legs on the electric […]
