Poetry Testifies to What I’ve Seen and Heard

Hero words take up swords
and slice through false beliefs with the authority

Poetry is a place to find refuge. You are here
in the observations of my soul. Reminding winter of
its boundaries and cultivating plump vines for harvest
in the desert of despair.
