"Friendship almost doesn’t feel like a big enough word for the depth and breadth of love Marsha offered to and received from her dear ones."

"The Mark"

and one by one the poets stop showing up
and the cold strengthens its grip
on the stone city

i imagine it's secret police
takes away
in darkness my friends
instead of lack of health care

i imagine instead of blind dumb brute indiff'rence
censorship
stops the mouths and ears of so many

this gives me the rage
to push on
through the increasingly sparse streets
of the appallingly hideous city

and write what no one will want to read
now or in the far future
