I’m interested in writing within the tensions of our humanity with the both and: our joy and our grief, beauty and brokenness, courage and fear, celebration and rage, and everything in between.
My hope is that my writing has the ability to connect to what lies at the core of being human. Whether I am writing poetry, a newsletter, or an essay, my writing aims to be honest, attentive, and centered around connection. May these words housed here meet you and encourage you.
An independent clause
Dependent on the effect
From an uncommon cause
Met with
A comma
And
a pause
Besides
Another independent clause
A comma splice
Accommodating
And
Overcompensating
For one’s need to stand
On their own
Constantly seeking to
run on
Run off
Run from
The uncommon cause
Period.
Red remarks
Combined with
Shame
Jh
Rewritten
To resist
The temptation to place blame
And to step away
From the pain
…
An independent clause,
Dependent on
what comes after the pause
Spliced
By the grace
To write again
On the same page
Despite the
Uncommon cause
Remaining in its place
The effect of Grace
Taking its place.
