Sing a Sad Song

Selene Steese

for all the wounded
of the world.

Wail it loud and long, 
howl it fierce and strong.

Sing in the language
of rebellious fire. 
Scream in the key
of unquenchable ire.

Rant and rave
and gnash your teeth,
bay at the moon,
growl your grief.

Selene Steese has resided on this planet 64 years. In all that time it has become clear that her purpose is to write. Poetry is her first language, and erupts from her almost daily. She has completed the first draft of a science fiction novel and is writing a memoir of her second stroke. She also teaches writing workshops.
