I have begun compiling, editing, and writing new material for my 8th book of Poetry. This page will be updated multiple times weekly as the book gets arranged and created. I did not intend to write another book of Poetry—no, I had all intentions to record an album of Music called "The Solar Flare Nightmare". Now, that may still happen, however, in writing material for that album, which was intended to become an instrumental album of music with supplementary text, the course has changed....And I'm sure for good reason, as I am now 42 years old and have yet to produce an album of music even though I've been trying to for two and a half decades. Yet, 2 decades of writing, without really trying to write Poetry, has resulted in 7 large volumes of Poetry and Prose. So maybe it was meant to Be, This Way....
Below, is the book "in-the-making"....updated as I arrange and edit material written over the past 7 or so years as well as new material which is coming to me almost daily. I will call the book "completed" when I arrive at 108 pages. I intend to print and bind the book myself and have it available at Midnight, October 31st, 2023, otherwise known as All Hallows Eve....:

behind these dark glasses

shines brilliantly
silently
dying without a reason
other than
obsessive idealism
drowning
in the centrifuge
