Art
poetry
and
childhood
were
chased
out
of her music
when
her
stepfather
married
her
mother,
an
abusive child
who
belt-strapped
the
man
and
made
roulette
play
Russian
mother
with
a gun.
She
left the age
at
house sixteen
Initially
leaned
toward
visual
shadows
but
sunk
into
arts,
painting,
photo,
once
again
when
a man
became
pregnant
like
her
birth
father
and
she
couldn't
marry
a
job
My
abandoned
dreams
could
hear
me
making
a racket
My
memoir wrote
in
my soul
Then
a show
watching
one night
a
shaman in
my
story-box (TV)
calls
people
to
help chants
and
dance
The
spirit
of
it was
me
coming
to
poetry
A
telephone
said
to
an
interview
The
artist
can
be
difficult
of
a
role
