author | poet | thread artist

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.

friend.

sometimes,

the watery

winter

sun

calls my name,

gently,

from behind the clouds,

caressing

my face

with his tendrils of

hope.

but i turn my back.

not now, i say,

can’t you see

that i am hiding

from the light.

but he rubs solace

into my fears

anyway.

— friend.
