Never question
me beneath moonlight,
or in the throes of battle.

#NaPoWriMo: Day 19
Nothing protected us then,
& we’re so much more
vulnerable now…
#NaPoWriMo: Day 18
my sister is
scarred and I
can count
her rib bones
like pick-up stix
#NaPoWriMo: Day 17
I used unraveled
tapes as ribbons
for the gift box
I put my heart in…
#NaPoWriMo: Day 16
One spark for life
and pale ash skin
becomes brazen.
#NaPoWriMo: Day 15
One can grow accustomed
to disappearing acts
#NaPoWriMo: Day 14
Some faces stay
with me, like a
mountain view
Thinking about Powwows During a Pandemic
It’s springtime in the middle of a pandemic and between the hand washing, concern, disinfecting, and time spent in prayer, I’m thinking about powwows.
#NaPoWriMo: Day 13
There were many terms for what happened.
#NaPoWriMo: Day 12
Risen
It really has been tomblike,
quieter during the night
as we wait…
