The Witch
*a poem for the day and darkening season from poet, writer and teacher Bethany W. Pope. More on Pope below. It's spooky just remembering the masks, and quarantines, in my view. How odd and unsettling that time was. To experience a pregnancy or health crisis of any...
Once Upon A Time On Halloween
*a submission to local arts and culture magazine, which will be published in August? September? Maybe, if they like it! Fingers x'ed, yet what matters is that I do. 🙂 It was Halloween, the perfect day to move from the Catskills into the big city; what’s the worst...
Rotten, Rotten from Top to Bottom
*My progressive column for the month of October, and the last to be published in print (on 10/21) prior to the election November 3rd, which is NEXT WEEK, peeps. Have you got a plan to vote? Checked your registration with your state or local board of elections? Voted...

Horse Song of a Nightmare
It is raining, raining, raining.The sky is falling, falling, falling.I never, never, never.Saw this would happen, happen, happen.As in any flooding, flooding, flooding.The earth is breaking, breaking, breaking.All the sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, kneeling.Inside the loss...
The Swan
Did you too see it, drifting, all night, on the black river? Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air – An armful of white blossoms, A perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned into the bondage of its wings; a snowbank, a bank of lilies,...
The Question Was… (pt. 1)
Did you show sparks of feminism when you were a child? This was on that gift and source of sewage called 'social media', this time a gift as the answers (I'll start with my own) are fab. Fascinating. Frustrating. Informative. Don't tell and teach girls (and people of...
Incompetent Sperm…
Or, why science research matters. But, yup. Incompetent sperm, or, rather, compromised, geriatric or otherwise not up to snuff spermatozooa. Because research into women's health, women's sports, women's anything is so much less than that done on anything involving...
Candace Lightner? Anyone?
Candace Owens, Candice Bergen. Candace...Lightener? Never heard of her. But she changed the world. Really. Social justice movements can and do change the world, including public perception, the law, and eventual outcomes for many millions of us. That's a fact. They...
