UPROOTING: Surviving Domestic Violence
Still in process, hopefully to be published early 2023
A collection of poetry, art and writings by survivors of domestic and sexual abuse with some clear steps about surviving such ordeals.
Old Tea
It’s a lapsang souchong kind of day
where old leaves blow and great trees sway
when the birds are gone and floorboards creak
I look out my window, take a quick peek.
The neighbor’s flag is blustering wild
declaring itself like a precocious child
‘I’m hard-won and glorious, full of old wars
look, can’t you see me I want some applause’.
The wind suddenly drops, I stop sipping my tea
the flag just collapses, is it finally free
of having to dance and strut, forced this way and that
just like soldiers ‘a ratatatat’.
Lapsang souchong is an old smokey tea
invented from wars between Ming and Qing dynasties
like Roquefort cheese it survived deadly wars
I swallow a sip, there’s heat at the core.
The wind just picked up, old oaks moan and sway
jungled thoughts are gathering, blowing my way.
I listen to news, more stories of war
old tea and old cheese, limp flags
hanging, what for?
Paint & Write the Town
Elsinore Art Gallery, Salem, Oregon. October 1 -29, 2022
Section from 'The Religion of Art' for this exhibition.
Eyes drink like a glutton
art’s poetry soaks my skin.
Shhh, I am here in church
trying to listen
all the captured thoughts
calling out to me
important things
like ‘go deeper’.
