    About this ebook

    Poems of hope, poems of despair. Poems of love, hate, life, death, art, and everything in between, such as this one:

    Cloud formations over Carolina;
    scratchy lines which Paul Klee
    would have been proud to stroke;
    Colors which would have shat-
    tered his dynamic sensibilities;
    Forms which might have re- defined his mad contexts,
    brought madness to his sane world.
