“Grief is more than gone-ness.
It is a relentless drip through granite…”
"I gather strength from lengths behind,
the doors I've faced and entered."
“Absence is not nothing.”
“Isolated,
we coddle our disgust.”
"Expectation rises
with courage
in the sun's rays."
“Why can’t you hear
the words I can’t say?”
“The bullet came out sideways.”
“There’s a comfort to being wrong.”
“And still we sling
digital mud
at human targets…”
“‘No’, I whisper.
The word so forbidden.”
