Little fingers and toes, testing, tasting everything in sight,
Write
What I’ve written, fiction and non-fiction.
denial – a poem
Denial Oh traitorous heart of mine why beat faster at such a disaster?
Fire – a poem
Fingers wrapped stifle the cry.
unlearn – a poem
How can I unsee when it pierces my skin?
canada homes – a poem
Muddy streets, row upon row upon row, houses line up shoulder to shoulder like little soldiers ready for battle.
loss – a poem
His smiling face brings joy. Spit up, gurgles, midnight feedings and diaper changes,
woven – a poem
She whispers words, silent prayers woven along with thread.
state of calm – a poem
Closed eyes furtively glance side to side back and forth...
synaesthetic – a poem
I synthesize behind closed eyes irregular forms, colour, shape, storms.
problem solving – a poem
His frown speaks volumes indicating the catastrophe about to take place.

In this moment I stare down my enemy. Confronted with a choice...
stitched together – a poem
Blood rushes from the gaping wound, a ragged trench relinquishing an army of red blood cells.
superhero news – a poem
Sources say explosions rang out and no one intervened.
opportunity – a poem
Your reputation precedes you, the perfect candidate to carry out my work...
at the end – a poem
It's always the same. The projects differ, the details vary, the challenges reward.
