Held in Silence
Where silence becomes a voice.
The Loss of My Children
An elegy shaped by two kinds of grief: the sudden absence that splits time into before-and-after, and the slower loss that arrives as a living transformation. Moving through tenderness, mentorship, and the quiet labor of love inside a home, the poem traces how devotion can survive catastrophe—while still leaving behind a haunting, ordinary silence.
Where the Two Once Stood
A quiet elegy for a pair of birch trees — brothers in bark, born of the same root — and the sorrow of witnessing one remain as the other fades.
This is a poem about grief, about letting go when love has lingered too long to say goodbye. It is written in silence, and meant to be read there too.
