barbara williams Biography

i wanted to write you a poem
ode to the best time of my life
but
i forgot the words, my thousand descriptions of you
...

by chance
they met again
after lives of passing stark divides
by choice
...

why shiver my love?
i close the window
your tremble persists
i close my eyes,
...

Madly,
she fell
plunging through the sweetest air
The next day
...

Soon
enveloped in itchy blankets
breathing damp basement air
little voice encapsulated in broken body
...
