I see you in my dreams.
Your face is edged with battle.
I touch your forehead from a distant land.
Settle, settle, peace, peace.
Can You Not Remember (poem)
The Book Series: Writing Poetry and Songs
Welcome to The Book Series, a new video series that shares inside information and the spirit behind my many books. This third video in the series is based on my poetry book, Strange Words: Poems and Prayers. I have also added a new video of one of the poems from the book. The poem is called Your Mother Remembers.
One Day the World Stopped—poem
We all stayed in—
couldn’t touch,
shouldn’t meet,
mustn’t dance.
God forbid
we kiss.
