As I battle the pain of separation
I work and strive for reparation
The chance to journey in space
Going for a distant race
Is there anything to mean?
What can be greater seen?
Is there a river to the ocean?
That flows this devotion
The rhyme takes form
In a world cold and warm
The climbing to the top
Does not mean wicked hop
Burned to the grown
Loss of friendship gone
The overarching story
need not be dull and gory
The satisfaction of tomorrow
Overcoming pain and sorrow
The lines keep flowing down
Unsure of what is found

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.
