What happened to all the voices
That found life in the past and
Rose into the present, live within
Bodies, travelling from one to the
Next, holding on, persisting, without
A name and date, without matter, a mere
Purpose to do what, to repeat, to reconfigure
Vicious circles, make them more obvious,
More intense, more invincible, what has been
Suppressed and ignored, resisted and swallowed
In shame and embarrassment, have those voices
Been killed off, is that what light demanded collectively,
Rage against shadows, twist one another’s arm
In a never-ending battle in black and white tones,
Why, what good will it do, how could this ever help?

You know? I’ve been reading through your work more. The characters and expressions and personifications and and and… I find it interesting that I didn’t see this before. I don;t know if I’ve ever experienced a poet so versed in Facing It, whatever it is each time. And, Your work in itself feels like a tome of fecund Brainspotting you’ve naturally been doing all along in communication with your Inner Inheritances, Inner Demons, Inner MagiS and Priestesses, and just the important people along the road you encounter. Roads and journeys inside brought into confluence through the tip of your pen as Inner State Highways continually being born anew. There’s such a freshness, even in your pain. A freshness that is honest, and runs the gamut of where it runs. I love it when my respect for someone’s work deepens into living and breathing reverence without need of bowing. I feel life itself being poured into the architecture of the forms of the relationships of your words, Croque.

It is truly remarkable how you manage to write me the right things at the exact right time. I should keep a notebook with all the wise things you say for all the times when I feel down. Every single time I see your name appear in the comment section I know that I’ll find pure gold because your words are so inspiring, encouraging and comforting. I am so grateful. Thank you, my friend.
