What if we could make a room inside our hearts where our beloveds who are no longer physically present could live? What would you put there? What scent would be in it? What tastes? What textures? The title of this poem was inspired by Leigh Gage. “Because My Heart Is Where You Now Dwell” is the eleventh track on RISKING LOVE, a spoken-word album that explores how we might fall more deeply in love with the world as it is, even when that seems impossible.
The amazing music is by Steve Law. The amazing video is by Holiday Mathis. My gosh, these two are incredible collaborators! Please, watch the video (above) and share it. We made this for you!

*Do you know anyone who votes for the Grammys? Steve and I are submitting our album for consideration … and if you know someone who might be interested in the Spoken Word Poetry category, perhaps you could encourage them to consider watching one of our videos to get a feel for RISKING LOVE.
