about

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

Fortress.

I caught every stone you threw at me,

and built myself a fortress.

How safe I feel,

enclosed,

by these strong walls.

How I wish,

sometimes,

that they weren’t quite so high.
