The Kindness in a Stranger’s Eyes
This is a poem I wish I didn’t have to write–but somehow, somewhere, maybe it can help someone with a better chance than me. (Early October, 2023)
Portals at the Heart of a Waning Summer Moon
This is a poem about how no matter how lost you may feel at any point in time, or how bleak the future may seem forevermore, you might just end up finding your blood-drenched bed of roses out in Blackest Igvarmord. (Early September, 2023)
Glass Elevators Beyond the Lake of Fire
This poem tells the story of a transformative time in my life that been a constant and much-needed reminder of why I suffered through all those lonely years to begin with. (August’s final breaths, 2023)
A Blood-Drenched Bed of Stars in Blackest Igvarmord
