Writing out of the dark. Poems just happen and looking back I can see what I wrestle with, this imaginary entity that hovers over me, my craft. I try to put it all in perspective at times, reaching for some greater meaning. Though I don't learn the ultimate truth, I feel wiser. At least that's something.
"...haul door to door,
to each threshold,
begging the mercies of women
in their aprons,
holding wailing babies,
heaving your literary acumen..."
from
"Pry A Little Deeper" 
"Surrounded by the infamy,
copious amounts of crumpled white
that failed to hit their mark,
scattered, make their own formations
on the seldom traversed ground."
from
"Ignorant Pencil"
