Poem published in the Lavendar Review

I’m on a roll this month.  The lesbians like me, too!

The Lavendar Review ran one of my favorite poems in their June issue.  I wrote this about a woman I’ve never met, but had an internet crush on for several years.  Some things are better left unrealized, I believe, as she will always be this dark angel in my memory (as well as above; world, meet ”Nin.”) 

This poem has been floating around with me for quite a while.  I often refer back to it when I need to remember what “gut writing” is all about.  Sometimes I get so caught up in the writing part of writing, I lose focus; I forget that if I let go and just let the images roll over me, I will be written, and that produces some of my favorite pieces.
