Poem: The City of Good and Bad

Quiet time lingers on a dead end street In the City of Good and Bad The familiar reminders in each drop of my feet And all of the times that I’ve had Each sidewalk crack, each pavement stain A mournful memory Of things that once were, and won’t be again Leaving a trace here for … Continue reading →

Poem: Endless Nothingness
