Did You Know

March 3, 2015PoemsTerese Newman

Lizards and Apricots

March 3, 2015PoemsTerese Newman

Most of the time I find myself retracing my tracks
recalling dream morsels
like the time I watched two orange lizards dancing

and my whispering voice as a woman
many ages ago. Continue reading “The Totem Book” »

Seven Saints Came To Save Me

March 3, 2015PoemsTerese Newman

Seven saints came to save me,
kissed my flesh,
lectured my soul.
Damn their interfering ways.
Our soft long legs wrapped in linens,
rubbed with lemons, bathed in oils and
We danced on the edge of saneness. Continue reading “Seven Saints Came To Save Me” »
