Alone
Alone: A #lonliness poem.
What is with the sad-boi hours? What is with the rain without flowers? Do I dare explore the confines of an expectedly average mind?
Or do I dwell on the past? Replay the failures of a man who has passed? Do I look to the future? Foresee lacerations and sutures?
Messages, lights, and dings hurt my eyes and remind me of darker things. Bright screens screen my screams.
Someone must save me if there…

I No Longer Need You
You were a safety net to catch me. Barely alive. Drowning, numb. Dying in a frozen sea. Pull me from troubled waters, pull me from troubled times. I would always need you, you were all I knew.
You were the warmth. The only light in the dark. You had your fingers crossed, I followed a farce. Righteous rage as a disguise for concealed conceit. A hapless happy haze, a drudgerous, dangerous defeat.

Arrows in a Quiver: From Contact to the Courts in Indigenous-Canadian Relations: A Book Review
Arrows in a Quiver: From Contact to the Courts in Indigenous-Canadian Relations: A Book Review Check out this review today to see my thoughts on a new piece of #Indigenous literature! #regina #bookreviews #amreading #sk #yqr #law
Indigenous-settler relations, sovereignty, and legalities have a long and tumultuous history in Canada. Unfortunately, this means that the average Canadian does not have the context nor perspective to understand this history, resulting in widespread acceptance of half-truths, racial bias, and a lack of empathy towards different cultures. On the positive side, a wealth of peer-reviewed…

The String Play
The String Play: A #Poem about Bowhunting. "Hoof meets snow. Nose meets grain. Wood meets wood, and string meets bone." #archery #nature #hunting #deer #snow #canada #westerncanada #archer #bow #arrow #yqr #treaty4 #amwriting
Actors of ice tumble and wrestle, dip, dive, and parry to a pitch-black stage drop.
Enter Stage Right, the archer comes. Hooded and silent a friend of the night. The orange curtains open. Stillness reigns over distilled rains. Frigid tundra tumblers play their games. The artist now in cover. Calmly caressed in the cover of crystals. The weight of the clouds rests on the back of a sleeping giant.

I was 26 years old when the hospital called and told me that my father had finally drunk himself to death. They worded it as a “liver cirrhosis-related rupture” but I knew that it meant the same shit. They had told me that he is still alive but does not have much longer. They asked if I wanted to come in to say goodbye to him before he goes. I said no and hung up my phone. My father’s routine was…

"The loudest voices talk the most and say the least." The Loudest Voices: A #Flashpoem about People Who Talk Too Much. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poems #prose #flashpoem #canada #yqr #yxe #nature #sask
The loudest voices talk the most and say the least. The loudest voices cause deaf ears. It does not bother them, so long as their sound does not cease.
Cease and desist, or at least try to resist, the urge to be the loudest voice in the room. This is best off learned now, learned soon. The boisterous bask in their self-righteousness and close their eyes while they clamor in empty victory.

Southern Blend and White Wine

Southern Blend and white wine
one half raw
and the other refined.
Do not pack me in to fit into your lip. Do not box me up and use me for a sip.
I belong with the wild grapes growing together under the sky. Toiling, sweating, sunburnt. Alive. Thinking, listening, feeling. Asking why? An imortal soul inside an indignant ape.

The earth and leaves leave an earthy scent that sends me home, refreshed from the homely, weary ways in which the winds wave.
Crisp, October air bites and comforts in the same breath. Damp and dry, Beauty and demise, when life eclipses death.
The sun prepares her goodbyes Her sorrow spectacularly lashes out her tears splatter the sky. She smoulders in a violet pout. Her silver sister gleams in a…

As I slipped into a sound slumber, an anticipated array of idiosyncratic ideas flooded furiously into my manic mind.
There’s the catch!
Like a great grizzly snatching struggling salmon I pulled the greatest poetic title from the unconscious stream.
It was glorious. Shakespearean. Uproarious and unseen.
It would have changed the way that you view life. It would have made a 1/36th…

High and dry,
satisfied.
Memories flood me of the waves slapping, crashing, bounding, and lashing. The sea’s ceaseless battery. Helplessly panicking, beating, and thrashing.
Sinking like a rock, and heavy as one too. Soaked as a dog with mange Shivering, descending into the blue. Saturated, destined to a watery grave.
Yet here I am, my land legs still intact, my body still sound. The sun warms my…
