Listen to Your Pain
Study your pain
as if you were
an archaeologist on a dig
who stumbled across
a mysterious stone
inscribed with
markings and writings
in an ancient language
and somehow you knew
that if only you could decipher
the meaning of these markings
you would know
the secret to everything
you ever wanted
and needed
“These poems are vulnerable and confident, playful and achingly tender…I am always lighter after reading her poetry.”
