Books
Writing is a form of healing for me. Stories are medicine and a form of reclamation and resistance.
I consider myself more of a medicine maker and an artivist than a "writer". I write poetry, short stories, screenplays, plays, creative non-fiction, academic papers, news stories...you name it.
If you'd like samples of any of my work I am happy to send you something. I'm also always willing to collaborate for anthologies and other collections. I will interchange poems and excerpts on this page so please visit often!

Comets and Cobwebs
Under the canopy of
Cosmic conundrum
there sits-Me
blanketed in-We
covered in cobwebs of memories
Silken,tactile, obstacular
ticklings of the past,
Bubbling brooks of yesteryear
beseeching me with whimsical
whispers and beckoning with
Aquamarine Arms
Tentacles tenaciously entangling
threads of me and you
"Usness" interwoven-
neatly nitted- and
I, numbed with reminiscence
novocained in recollection
sit a catacomb of catharsis
heart rooting through fingers and toes
loaning compassion, consistence and cognizance to
the fertile cosmos,
Your comet-tailed smile
scorching my inner sky
Singe-ing my soul
Your hiatus a catalyst of
heated heartburn
Endearing entropy
Consumptory coals
heaped in hippocampus
curtains of stars drawn closed.
Final Act. Fade to black-hole.
