Her heart however still lives in San Francisco, where she lived for two years in the 1970's. Starr wrote the poems in this collection about California. She is currently doing freelance work for the Mountain View Journal, doing arts and entertainment pieces and photos. I stepped onto the glass beach where sky reflected on sand and begin to walk saltwater sand grains clinging to the new black soles stepping on slickness walking in others footprints in the tracks of gulls soaking into my shoes from the soles up to the soul nothing ruined all filled breaking in the new of shoes taking in the way I feel always stepping onto the sand my landlocked self breathing again pulse elevated heart racing all excited brand new. I brought them home, the new shoes tinged with watermarks and sand.
Memory walks in each footstep now.
