a cascade of colorful rooms seen through mulitple doorways

Here you will find some of
my more personal writings,
from the early poetry
to the most recent
poems and stories.




Delta

"Once there was a double-sashed window, hanging on a wall..."

"Each thing/that happens in my life arrives/as a morning's guest..."
