About Me

sore as these arms get waving hello from rowing the beautiful to waving goodbye rise & sinking glorious smiles shared soar of pelicans playful in a circle poems carved seals opening eyes this ocean of ghosts & grief our mother, family voyages fix our eyes our treasure, tortured passages to each othersoul songs of old ones flying backwards focus so our voices become winds not on swirling into separate haunting sailors & cruise tourists words exchange, become sowers of love legendary
devotees of each other’s
mysteries.

My Interests
