rock of ages
love conquers all... including weather predictions
with you seasons are
nigh bearable, and i can
tread rockiest earth.
fire still falls upon
me, but i ache for no drop
to satisfy thirst.
winds pull me to my
knees—or they would, without your
steadying, soft hands;
every element
spread before your gaze dares not
drift from your demands.

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.
