Laura exhibited in the Laguna Sawdust Festival and the Laguna Beach Festival of Art for 20 years.  Finding herself in the company of several astoundingly deep\, brilliant poets\, she discovered that writing poetry is contagious. She has presented poetry in interviews on KZYX and KMUD.  Her paintings are currently on display at The Bookstore on Larel street in Fort Bragg. \nTribe\nIt’s the moment when’\nMom tells you she’s marrying the boyfriend\nwho touches your breasts\nwhen she’s not around\nDad loses his job\nin a town\, a county\nwhere there are no more jobs\nYou learn your husband\nhas the worst kind of cancer\nOr the lump is in your breast\nFor millions\nthis moment is happening\nnow\nThe boy at the cash register\nThe woman waiting for the bus\nThe man who always sits alone\nWe all feel so alone\nin our heads\nyet our bones are all humming\nthe same half-remembered tune\nroared ecstatically by a sun\nbillions of years ago\nTake a step to the right\nwe are all tugged along\nThey say if a single atom was removed\nthe universe would collapse\nYou are the atom at the center\nholding us all together\nYou are the gift\nwe’ve been waiting for\nIf your husband is hurting you\ntake a step to the left\nthen another\nuntil you are surrounded by people\nwho smile when they see you\,\nIf someone wants to hurt you\nthey circle around you\nlike a herd of mama elephants\nprotecting the young\nYou are the gift\nYou are the gift\nYou are the gift\nwe’ve been waiting for \nNoyo High Students will present poems in connection with the exhibit of their artwork\, currently on display at the Cobalt Gallery.
