death, I’m afraid is not the soft stained black cotton robes of a priest it is rather the white thread-bare curtains of a lepers cottage stinking of rotting flesh and moist with failing tissue the hollowness that is hope follows me no matter the places I travel bells-a-jingling as I step from my stoop into your world

I am a published poet twice over. I am 31 years old (in body), have three children, and a wonderfully supportive and decidedly beautiful wife.
