Beating tired bones
As David Biespiel said, "A poet's greatest fear is that he will flinch." My main influences are Gordon Massman, The Mars Volta, and Elizabeth Hufford.

How
do
you?

The Weight of Memories
"How do you carry
the weight
of memories?"
I asked.
She looked at me,
tears filling her eyes.
