Poems

Written after meeting a new friend whose laughter, stories, and love of poetry stayed with me long after our coffee cooled. This poem tries to capture the sudden, unexpected ache of that connection.

A bright lyric poem written for my sad, grumpy friend who needed some down time.

Written as a nod to a selfless activist friend whose last breath will surely become wind beneath wings of the oppressed.

Written for a special friend across the pond, who I missed stubbornly, dearly.
