Fell in love with writing at age 12.Worked in nursing with a focus on women's health and education during early years of career. Became fascinated by law re violence against women and children and worked for the Camden County Prosecutor addressing both. Studied writing and literature continuously. Recently moved to the mountains in Pa. Am writing and painting full-time now. Am still as much in love as I was when I was 12....
I am the dream that dfid not die
ravaged child of love denied
witness to a history that no longer matters
the face in the mirror times hand has shattered
...
Life speaks softly
in between the silent spaces
left by the husband
who no longer hears you.
...
You came to me again last night
through a dream no one can steal.
I reached for you
with arms of lead
...
In the endless nights
that follow her death,
I gather my trash bags
and swing them like a weapon
