poetry races through me like a blast of cold air off lake erie. dramatic clouds over white-capped water. sand & stone & searing exhilaration. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

i was kidnapped when i was 10 & sold to the gypsies. now i dance wildly every night & tell fortunes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

poetry crackles in the campfire. poetry is the wine in the jug we pass. poetry is alive in my snapping fingers. my swirling red skirts. my magic red shoes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

poetry. the great liberator. the lover of my life. poetry. savior of my soul.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

poetry. the damp grass underneath my back. a million stars over my head.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
