The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.

Too Beautiful Not To Be

The world is so beautiful,
it came from nothing
to exist.
A toy store of puzzles
for precocious children.
Content to be
a blade of grass,
a sunrise,
a man in love,
children.

The world making itself.
Jam on bread,
Halloween,
Michael smiling.
Coming from the emptiness
of a huge love,
a cosmos,
lifting its head from the pillow
and wondering,
if I wake
will the darkness go away?
And it did,
it has!
