I rub
gentleness
into your skin
every day,
so that the one
who loves you
one day,
does not have
to peel back
the layers,
to find your heart.
—On raising a boy.

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.
I rub
gentleness
into your skin
every day,
so that the one
who loves you
one day,
does not have
to peel back
the layers,
to find your heart.
