Below you will find links to some of the journals that have made my work available online. 

Along with these online publications or digital reprintings, my work has also appeared in BorderSenses, Indiana Review, Red Rock Review, South Dakota Review, Water-Stone Review and Willow Springs.

I will add audio and video as they become available.

For now enjoy this poem that first appeared in South Dakota Review in their Winter Issue: March 2006.

Girl on a Metro in Mexico City

She hands out her heart
stickers to passengers
on trains.  She does this
as quiet eyes focus on her
ragged dress’s seam. 

Her pointed finger meets
each shoulder along the aisles
and seats.  And the passengers invent
reasons for this girl’s good deed.

She must have a dream, they think,
of a clean, white dress and matching
shoes.  Or the urgent need for health
to end her sister’s flu.  Or maybe God
sent her an angel whose message
she must do.  Anything to force her hands
into the same shape, that cup,
that beggars use. 

Other beggars sound out their need.
They play guitars and sell
burned CDs.  Some roll their backs
on broken glass, before they ask
for a place to sleep.  While others
hand out notes to say
that they can’t speak.

But this girl doesn’t ask for gifts
or a place to sleep.  She can’t spell
the word, guitar, or listen to CDs.
Instead she presses bright, pink hearts
onto passengers’ sleeves.
And her tiny fingers take those hearts
away when she leaves.
