Favorite Quote:
The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might dream along with you, and in this way memory, imagination, and language combine to make spirits in the head.
--Tim O'Brien


I am made of dust

And I sprinkle as I fly

Myself in all places

Stretching underneath the sky


I am made of glass

That which shatters, leaves a shard

And rides the passing draft

Fleeing land forever scarred


I am made of paper

Dipping thirsty in the ink

Recording words and melodies

But scorched before I blink


I am made of petals

Tightly pressed in pages lost

Like a cut-out paper snowflake

That will never lose its frost
