“Absence is not nothing.”
“‘No’, I whisper.
The word so forbidden.”
“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."
“There’s a comfort to being wrong.”
“Why can’t you hear
the words I can’t say?”
"Expectation rises
with courage
in the sun's rays."
“The bullet came out sideways.”
“Grief is more than gone-ness.
It is a relentless drip through granite…”
