Author’s Note:
This is a period when many friends and family members are lost to us. During the composition of this verse-drama, a dear friend passed away and eventually received their nightmare potter’s burial. They were a gentle and sincere human being. One of the poems in this collection bears a dedication to them. Their name was Julien.
This is a small collection of beginnings and endings. The middle is merely a dream. The Nothing Epistle is an homage to lost love, love meant to be that never was, mistakes that were made that should never have been made, those moments when you feel the earth deepen around you as madness sweeps across you.
I have lost many friends in recent years to the darkness. Much has happened since I first penned “Sublime Lust”, the poem opening this collection, and the final verse.
This small collection is a story of futility, of two people whose lives composes a dream, a dream that answers many literary riddles.
