Patterns by Susan Tepper

All the windows 
have cracked
soft spider web 
patterns 
Keeping you 
from seeing 
truth or
the snow piles
finally melting
Pouring through 
a roof that was 
always a compromise
situation






Susan Tepper is a twenty year writer in all genres, and the author of nine published books.  Her most recent are CONFESS (a poetry chapbook by Cervena Barva Press, 2020) and a quirky road novel WHAT DRIVES MEN (Wilderness House Press, 2019).  Currently Tepper is in pre-production of an Off-Bdwy play titled THE CROOKED HEART which she based on artist Jackson Pollock’s later years.
