I am a writer

I am writer
The blank page is my canvas.


I am a writer
Language is my playground
The Rhythm, beat, and sounds.


Dear editor, if you choose my art
Why do you maim and mute
Erase and replace
Red stained
With your agenda and interpretation


I am a a writer
This is my mosaic
Imagery captured in tin-type pictograph
Words brought forth across the veil
That straddles eternity's realms.
