in the dark, with a big stick
by Sloan Asakura
there were cats in the gutter before coyotes
there were girls when it was safe to stay girls
and when the coyotes come out
there’s me
swinging
dreaming of cats
Thank you Kim Nelson for your word of wisdom on this enlightening work. You have reshaped the way I approach most of my life from now on. I'm changing everything. You only live once, I'm going to live the most beautiful life I can live. LIVE. LIVE! BREATHE! OPEN YOUR EYES! Call me Victor Frankenstein and rise from the ravines of Hadestown where you stir restlessly.
Wow.
