Artist Statement: We all have secrets …
Surreptitious
Make me think I don’t know me
the way I pass through the days
into night
where it grows
the silence not really quite
the missing time not really lost
I am ruined
living in both worlds
without intonation
a bold infraction taking place
a shadow now of the former me
behind a screen
with each nefarious performance
if you could see the way I act
shameless
without contrition
I am half awake in your world
deliberate misdirection
but this is my shelter
my secret garden.

Insidious
Sinking low
I hit a wall
unsympathetic
if I could replace the time with truth
it wouldn’t change a thing
deception
accused
no longer the shining star
no longer lying between what is avowed
splintered as I am
such a waste of your heart
this is going to be
wanton to defend
not by pride
without intonation
complacency makes it easier
I walk away from you
disengaged from the former me
the shelter burned to the ground
my garden exposed.
