Myself

circa 2000
published in the Spokesman Review (a local newspaper Spokane, Washington)
on June 7th 2001

saved from the circular file to the left of my desk.
feelings on paper my has pressed.

in these pages i have found myself.

saved from the great idea bank of the world that is
my dream.
Stolen from the fire of passion that burns.

saved from the circular file to the left of my desk.
feelings and poems my pen has pressed.

between these pages and among these shelves,
i again have found myself.
