More recently, Lowry has dedicated her time to the movement to end violence against women, counseling and advocating for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, as well as lobbying the Texas legislature for funding and new laws to benefit survivors.

Arcing waves of white,
across the glistening green.
Got soaked on my lawn.
You been gone too long;
I missed you so much. Haiku

Oasis Marfa
Respite from heat, good place to
Incubate Haiku.
big banks get rescued
jobless parents and hungry kids
being left behind
tired and cranky
i cooked dinner for a man
happiness bluebird
once upon a time
my heart smashed on fire and ice
hummingbirds singing
