  • rural dirt road intersection in countryside
    Crossroads

    I saw her at the 

    Crossroads, black dog at her heel

    A torch in her hand

    Another drink, a day gone

    Torch burning in the darkness

Warrior on the Beach [a poem]

Pulling dreams down from the heavens, she

lifts the world off her shoulders for a breath of

salty-sea air, unsheathing and driving down her sword

into golden sands. A moment to rest, a breath to life.
