The one I didn’t post on YouTube.

In my woods.

During a blizzard.

This is probably one of my favorite poems from the chapbook and there is a song too.

Seek,
What you will never find
You was always on my mind
And I never knew the name
But I missed you just the same

Find,
Another way to go
As the blood begins to flow
You will never learn to grow
When you’re standing on your toes

Sold,
Your divinity for a show
And a pocket full of gold
There was nothing left to hold
As time starts to unfold

Grind,
Down your bones to dust
But never let it rust
I don’t know what to say
You might get another day

Take,
Away your noble birth
I wonder what its worth?
When there’s nothing left to give
Will they even let you live?

There is a whole series of these readings on YouTube. What I love about it is like the livestream you are getting little snapshots of my backyard through this fall-winter-to hopefully spring seasons.
