Bearing only a sliver of light so I might know I adressed the sky at all, I asked: Why must there be more black night? "So I may replenish the color of crow feathers, that wolves may know when to sing, that the moon might cast a reflection in black water and know that it is beautiful. Should you gaze into another's pupils, the place casting no reflection, you may know all things with eyes are twinned and share the color of this gift I bring today."
I am a father, writer, and podcaster living along the Front Range, Colorado. My poetry has appeared in Sonder Midwest, Tejascovido, Langdon Review of the Arts in Texas, Texas Poetry Assignment and the 2022-23 print anthology, Lone Star Poetry: Championing Texas Verse, Community, and Hunger Relief. I produce The Phantom Script (a poetry podcast) and Crossings-the Refugee Experience in America Podcast.
