Instant silence in every instance.
—or so I'd thought.
Chopin's piano is a phrase in my vocabulary.
—or so I'd want.

Be far. Be a far booming noise
unlike anything else. Be the far
fair individual. Go ahead,
contact your voice.
Remember color, remember personality
—& as is, as was.

Of, of, alike, resemblance of
the animal. We begin as a flock.
The boy who cried wolf
was really a wolf himself.
—& up up up his echo carried.

Instant silence in every instance.
Yes. The way I had dropped
at your feet in the cold grass.
The way you cupped my head in your arms
& caressed me untitledly.
—or so I'd thought.

  2. Too kind, friend! I actually published a book back in 2008. You can find it here:

    I have a chapbook coming out eventually -- sometime this year -- called "The Aegocephalus." It has been "in the works" for a while, but I am hopeful that it will be out soon (published by Good Japan Press).

    Thank you for reading and checking my blog here! It is much appreciated.
