In tribute

Damn doom to
day after day
break our bright wishes:
to carve a simple beauty
out of chaos.

To make
in this multi-motioned grid
a lattice loop
of space/time tamed
as air is tamed in a vase
or a woven basket.

Best break the world
like a wild horse
or house the wind.

Women In Print and VPL will be having a celebration to honor her life on July 29th at VPL. There will be readings of her poetry and work will be read that has been written about her, as well as music and visual art. I hope to see you there.
