I'm also very proficient at research - both online and in the "real world." If you need some research done, please get in touch. My rates are very reasonable. I'm also available for editorial work.

Some Poems

06.19.04

night rises
from the pond
in robes of rose & gold

          *

bamboo shoots
     under
a first crescent moon

afternoon, hwy 1

  up the coast
        winding cliffs of ocean
     so much further on

          old oak pressed back
             baby at the breast
                   of an old cotton dress

     behind the kitchen
                      a sign, a wood -

           windows don't open
           & papers fall   out
                 the clouds or was it

          something dreamed
       under the steep below

  - headlands fallen from the sea - 

creekside rain
      aside the empty,
   rough-hewn benches in a row
