This collection of poetry deals with people in relationship to each other, to our environment, and to our own minds. It's an exploration of our interactions.

Welcome to my poetry blog.

Counting drugged sheep

I promised you I wouldn't take more than the recommended dose of cough syrup so I won't tonight, but this is normally the point where I'd pop a couple Gravols to get a few hours.

How many consecutive sunsets and rises have I seen through that open window, filtered through the screen. You suggest obtaining a prescription for some sleeping pills, but the way I take medication, I don't think I need anything heavy in this place.

There isn't a drug out there strong enough to mute my brain anyway, but sometimes even turning down the volume a bit is a relief.
