Blue
ocean weathered paint covering hand smoothed boards each year renewed --- The desire to enter spawned the quest for an image. Rejected skies with varying degrees of cloudedness. Wood reminded me of the decks, handrails, and walkways down at the coast, some left natural, or pressure treated, others painted to preserve them from salt-spray and sun. Roughed boards, damaged, possibility of splinters or worse, but many were from well-loved sections of a walk, and had a mix of hands, shoes, and bare feet smoothing them down.

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.
