just a bunch of poetry, started january of 2020. we'll see how far it takes us. I basically just post random ass poems I create, not in any promised order. it just happens. this is book two - I stopped book one after one hundred poems. I think I'll do that, every one hundred poems will be a new book.
also want to rant about this cover real quick: my photo. I was in Vancouver with Street Spirits Theatre Company in March of 2019. we were there doing a performance piece for a health and wellness conference, about mental health and crime. the first night we got there, we just got settled into our hotel after a long ass drive from Prince George, and we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner. there was a small Italian place not even a block away from the hotel. so we walked there. on the sidewalk outside of the hotel was a pentagram in the concrete. and I felt safe in this city I knew nothing of. and to be there with my second family.... it was great. it was nice. this is one of my favorite photos from the trip.
anyways, enjoy this mash of poetic items of various sorts.

why does falling in love really hurt?? like, i just love! why does it make me so hurt. and then, i realized...
love arrives like a storm
tearing down walls
i didn't know were there
exposing the raw
nerve endings
of my heart
it hurts
because feeling
is terrifying
but the ache
is also the proof
that i am alive
