Aftermath

The title of this collectionat times mournful sardonic and joyousrefers to the grief in the wake of loss. Yet these poems aren''t just about the consequences of loss but also about the complex experiences of endurance acquiescence and rebirth that with luck mark the aftermath of sorrow. from Aftermath: Kite But the thought is only paper after all a soul that clings to a stick tears open shreds as if it''s flung to the ground in a final shiny fall and at last the line goes limp the climbing ends. Beyond the rush & sweep an arc of silence though a mind imagined this flight & proved it once.
