What is it about
us

we sail without
charts

we run between
the drops of rain

and we fly
not only by the seat

but sometimes
with no pants at all

charmed yes
we are very charmed

though it's hard
not to wonder

if there isn't someone
out there

who's

keeping score

I am a writer of fiction and poetry. My poems are about ideas expressed through imagery. Rarely are they biographical or confessional. My poetic influences include, but are not limited to Richard Hugo and Robert Creeley
