Favorite Quote:
“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” - William Wordsworth


In the tunnel 

beyond a graveyard

drift the formless shapes of my words,

unceasing 

in their flightless resolve.

 

Sinking 

through the empty cracks

in the sidewalk

 

They lie beneath your space

in the backseat

each plea dissolved,

echoed

by the static

 

Knelt before the altar 

of a long waiting, 

ruins of girlhood 

to float within the idle winds,

downstream

to you.
