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