wind follows wind,
as would the grasses
were they not rooted –
relegated to whispering
wayfarers’ songs
this evening I carry
that elsewhere urge –
a glow of foot,
the rise of thigh –
the sort of sky to set
wings to trembling

Dear Sarah,
In all the years I’ve read your poetry, I’m always amazed (and often a little intimidated) by your gift. There is something quite immeasurable about your work; it is so fluid and often so unexpected. You continually offer your heart to your audience in new and evocative ways, while remaining authentic to your core. It is always a pleasure to return.
