I am a poet
of the lake,
poetess, actually.
​
My hands gather
her fossil bones-
the calcium
drinks my fingertips
chalking them
white with dust.
​
My heart is here
although storms
never come-
just rain, anymore.
​
What if I drank
too much whiskey
one night
and then told the lake
that I was her
poetess forever.
​
Would she
reflect me differently-
a stranger forever?
​
Bah,
I can't care.
​
The storm passes us by
again
and I am still
and ever
your poetess
and stranger.

HERE ARE SOME LINKS TO A FEW LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GET MORE ATTENTION:
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
It is our aim to grow our region’s access to natural, ethically made and traded goods by creating and maintaining a retail environment where openness, equality, sustainability and
representation matters.
OUR HOPE
It is our hope that your experience with
Poetess and Stranger
is magical and empowering.
"An' it harm none"
there has to be a place we start
somewhere we are allowed to
be curious and be curious
a place where women matter
a place of tenderness and conscience
a place for new voices and the natural world
a place whose purpose is to reveal the beauty
and magic in each of us
a place with a heart and a soul and
a mind for change
there has to be a place we start
to be the people our world needs
more healers and dreamers
more makers and menders and believers
there has to be a place we start
so let it be here.
