Published En Memoriam; Written on The Front Lines.

Christian’s Snores:

Sometimes, as you sleep
Your breath punishes the air
Whipping what feeds you

Other nights, sweet boy
Breaths languish up from your chest
Air falls like feathers.

Sleep (or lack thereof):
Can’t you see you’re killing him?
Please, stay close awhile

Sometimes I think that
He’s been drunk for so long
Happy makes no sense

If only he knew
He’s an opportunity
to write about grief

He should be more than
A muse to a woman-child
Writing about men.
