about me
i'm an artist, photographer and writer. i've been stretching myself across the earth in search of answers and questions.
i am many talents and ways that fit certain names and dates and times... i am modest and seek connection through those gaps... but hesitate to label myself as them...

i am a ball of yarn that shed her first coil gingerly
upon entering this lifetime...
a single length of a girl

and ever since
i've shrugged and rolled and bounced and pulled and pushed and placed and thrown and stretched and kicked and flicked and knelt and wound and
dropped to the ground

a length of yarn
down from my back
for every stride
i don't look back
a piece of me
or so i thought

and as this solid fuzzy part
grows ever smaller
less concrete

i smile at the simple feat
of

l i b e r a t i o n


i'll be free

when gone
is
this

definition of 'me'

unravel enough to b r e a t h e

the sound of my breath

is making noises
like words

with the crawling
craydle
of my heart
against my rib

and the way she is held
suspended between the
line and the lift

is delicate and rough

and the beauty of my chaos

brushes by me
cheek to cheek

with the almost touching way
my tremble moves toward
this day
i know i love you

and all the coming moments
that will become
the steady
we fall against

i sit inside
this almost dark
and know that the slivers
of light

that creep along my shape
are telling quiet secrets

of how she lost control
and the wind
swept away
her heart

trailing tangling
string
through the forest
of where we’d been

and all the branches caught
and tore
the little fibers

that we’d sewn

and as my red parts
streaked across the sky

i opened up my mouth

and the truth
of my love

bled right out of me

you push past a place
where the ribs
of the walls
still poke
awkwardly
awaiting
some drapery
and breath

that might cause the fabric
to shift in the light…

that might let them
play
the parts
of wing-ed things

for those moments

before the wind

catches hold
and carries her away

skin to skin

ribbon cracking
under root

mark my skin with
mouth shaped wanting
of the truth

in the face of only now
be the words
and just allow

space for what is right
in you
and promise keep
her sky
it's blue

pour me out
pour me in
lift me down
it’s where i’ve been

dip me into
wells of want

split the seams
break the shell

hold my haunting
heart

she fell

all the way down to the start

and newborn
dancing
found her way
to the view
of how she lay

soft the ground
it gently slips
back it’s rib
to make a space

interlace

we breathe in time
find the beat
and align

talk in rhythm
look here twice

watch my eyes

now watch my eyes
