Red tulips
splayed wide like carcasses
black spill
backlit by furious sun

About Me

- I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound.

now you're being violent with your images!
the women from Samuel, the women from kings
girls coming to draw water by Rachel’s tomb
Michal let David down through the window
Bathsheba Bathsheba beautiful Bathsheba
purifying herself after her period, then pregnant
to warm the king, let a virgin lie with him
not important that the widow has nothing and Elijah asks for something
only important the widow obey Elijah, get something in return
same widow now the woman
blame Elijah who blame Yahweh
violent Jezebel needs to be hushed
Sarah,
I remember a poem about Bathsheba my college mentor, Jill Baumgaertner, wrote, and in the poem, Bathsheba is basically getting raped, though she knows she has no other option than to let David take her. I think that was the first time I'd ever understood the story that way. Oh, yes, the women in the Old Testament--either they're kicking, like nailing the tent peg through the guy's head, or they're being offered like sacrifices.
I used to have a duck puppet named Jezebel. That is neither here nor there. Nice to see you back with a poem. Love getting them.
that was kim, not thrownfree. arg.
