Favorite Quote:
"And so we beat one, boats against the current; bourne back ceaselessly into the past." -F. Scott Fitzgerald (The last line of The Great Gatsby)


and I've come to understand

that every reach for my hand

is a reach for

something behind me. 

not into my

soul

or my 

heart.

a reach into my

transparency,

a reach into what you can see.

Just an entry from my poetry journal that I was particularly proud of.
