SOLUTIONIST:

Drenched soul placed on a bench,
Avengers revenging not ready to repent;
Edge of grudges they always entrench,
Dreading of fate, that's what they depend.

and we all know it’s a mistake.

I’ve even seen ‘Rest in Power’
said for activists who have died,
so that even in...

The Shape-Shifting Cowboy, Part I
Jenna lived in rural Wyoming lands,
where grass rolled over small ridges and buttes,
a small town way out in the cow country,
where the ranchers still throw lassos in loops.

Last Season
Together we dueled and alone you wept,
Deep-down I eked out
