What if Words are a Substitute for Silence?

What if Words are a Substitute for Silence?

In my ripening years I am

possessive of the Mystery—

no one else may own the Still, Small Voice.

Let me be an apologist for a glass of water,

Looking-Glass Girl: Alice Finds Herself in 1871

Looking-Glass Girl: Alice Finds Herself in 1871

Thought I’d post a bit of my work-in-progress, Looking-Glass Girl. In this scene, my protagonist, Alice, first meets Suzanne Manet, wife of Edouard Manet.

Fifty Days in France #1 String Theory

Fifty Days in France #1 String Theory

It was my first trip abroad in 32 years. For two months I wandered solo from Paris to the French countryside and attempted time-travel. In my computer was a half-completed novel called Looking Glass Girl.

Today I must retravel

Today I must retravel

The taut ground of soothsayer
Who broods in caverns for a glimpse of light.
How have I lost the glinting stone
I kept so long in my fist?

Character Mashup–“Maybe Dats Your Pwoblem, Too”

This poem, by Jim Hall, is one of my favorite mashups, and I often read it in Talking to Your Characters and in Teen Poets at Bellevue College.

A Word on Risk

 

“You built some dandy walls

That held back the fire

And the barbs

But also the heat

And the fruit

That make it worth the suffering

The wind will blow through the remains

Of your fortress

And that mournful noise

Will be all the eulogy you are entitled”

Game of Poems

Young woman dancing

Dancing on the Razor’s Edge

You speak in riddles because

You ache to speak.

You ache for space

To expand and contract.

Can We Talk?

I have not shared any of my work-in-progress here because it has felt too close to the bone. It’s a YA. It’s about art. And it’s about time-travel.

I Held Poems

Those most beautiful

I couldn’t read for a crowd.

When Sexton, blind with love,

Saw her daughter’s life stretch out,
