Poem: “Room Of Light” (2007)
Floor. Ceiling. Walls of light. My shadow seeps into my skin. My shape is lost to my eye. Floor. Ceiling. Walls of light. A motherless, fatherless point of shadow— God, the memory of sleep, recoils. I am behind the metal door. My spirit springs to your eye.

Poem: “Get Up” (2010)
Get up out of your corner. Digging at rocks and shattered nerves won’t lift you up. Get up out of your corner. My fallen child, what have you become? You used to be a little god— self-determined, or so you believed, as you danced on the edge of a blue crisis. Get up out of your corner.

Poem: “Joy/Grime” (2007)
Spinning, whirling dancers in the alley. Dresses turn and bloom, dragging through the grime. Joyful, smiling, dirty skin colliding. City walls are echoing, for we are not yet dying. Concrete calling, precarious and falling. Dancers stretch their limbs like flowers from the cracked sidewalk, marking passing time; pulling joy from grime.
