All the Dancing Birds

I am honored and thrilled to have my poem featured in the introduction to All the Dancing Birds, a novel by Auburn McCanta. Both touching and informative, this heartbreakingly beautiful story offers insight into  Alzheimer's powerful grip.

Buy the book here.

It took so long

In days of debris
we sifted for angels.

Now we know:
It's futile to search for solid joy.

Happiness is a vapor, powerful
as wind, but just as shifty.

We do not hold
keys or answers

but vision,
memory, hands.

Mine in yours, every
squeeze says loved

says I am I am I am.
