Another week
to seek
a sign
and pine
over 𝔡𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔪𝔰.
He told me
to be 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒,
to be myself,
but it’s
a high fate,
as I’m learning
who I truly am.
On Monday,
I’m mad.
On Tuesday,
am I bad?
On Wednesday,
I’m rather weird
On Thursday,
for adventure,
I’m geared.
On Friday,
I’m fatherly.
On Saturday,
am I fighting
emotional poverty?
Alas, on Sunday,
I’m reminded to praise,
for all the days,
and every faze,
of life.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
