Speaking Volumes<\/span>


When it grabs you,<\/span>
poetry is a book<\/span>
on a pinhead:<\/span>
pricking your soul,<\/span>
scratching your mind,<\/span>
dancing in your brain.<\/span>



Cheating Angel <\/span>


The wing of a soul<\/span>
tipped the sun<\/span>
that tilted the earth.<\/span>
The moon smiled,<\/span>
and a woman<\/span>
lit a candle <\/span>
for the baby<\/span>
she never saw.<\/span>
