Action
And this is why she gave us Brandon...”

I would elaborate for you the brightness of
Sagebrush in the rain
Sun-soaked brows of laughing children
Suburb lawns infused with lilac...”

“Inky ice slaves away
the caterwauling of each broken day
and within the storms that leave behind a dust
of crystallizing diamond shore
I walk
and walk
and walk some more...”
