About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Knotted Wire Knotted Wire
Barbed.
Breathing, fire-edged spines.
A live
coil of slicing razors
striking my soul;
a bowline around my stomach,
clotting my heart.
Mind frayed like salt worn rope,
hands tied behind my back in frustration.
Hindsight blindsided by euphoria:
a prompt, required words
lost in the explosion of a poem
leaving words shattered on the street
and me lost in a dark maze.
Six days into twenty-one,
fifteen knots tighten,
a tourniquet
cutting off soul's blood
from heart and mind
and a poet near dying
crawls off into the darkness
trailing a loose end
of knotted wire.
