You have no
suit of armor,
what good is one
of wax?
Hello Everyone,
It’s great to be back with you after a hiatus of several months. I am very proud and pleased to announce that I have been spending that time with my nose to the stone that grinds, finishing up my MFA, and putting the final touches (as if a poem is ever really finally touched . . .) on this, my first collection of poems Part With Never.
This work represents the culmination of the last three years’ extent of the processing, extricating and remodeling of thoughts; of somehow figuring articulation, and large-scale replication.
Between these covers exists an ongoing conversation with Place & the feeling of being Dis\Placed, the ideas of Home; clouded memories; evasive emotions; the sound of bees, hidden & busy inside the hive.

. . .I chose abandon,
never favored the familiar.I can’t find a river to listen;
these kids throw whiskey bottles
instead of stones to decompress.. . .
from Urban Demoralization
♦
. . .The briefest hesitation left to lean,
a casual wall; the smell:
old wood in the stairwell.. . .
from In the Driveway
♦
. . .Thumbs and forefingers
formed the mouths of hungry birds,
filled their beaks with pink flesh,
set aloft upon thermals
generated by oiled feathers
and songs disguised as whispers.. . .
from The Minutes of the Afternoon Were Like Bright Mirrors
I appreciate your support, and welcome your feedback.
Cheers!
