conjure emerald garden
blind facts with fiction

Will the creepers die
let the body breathe free or
choke health, force decay

when the mind, eyes, heart connect
hear the other's soul

Writers' Tears


had a sip of fire
not burnt, blasted by the whiff
only writer's hell

I was at a reading, and this label triggered my 
empathetic response.
