Performing Artist and Educator

 


.......there was a sobbing nocking at my door.... i opened the window to let the rain in and a thousand screams floaded my mouth.... tap dancing on a clock with 13 hours i moaned dirges and sang hymns and the moon wept stars down to blanket her cold children.......
