I was jotting notes for an upcoming episode of Markheim when it suddenly dawned on me that what I had was damned close to a poem. So I polished it up a little and sent it off to the amazing Omar Willey, publisher of The Seattle Star. In his intro to it on Facebook yesterday he called it, “A timely poem … that I've been saving for just the proper occasion.” An approving nod from Omar is worth more to me than praise from any Caesar, but I’d happily swap “timely” for some magic to dampen the vicious necromancy of all the guns we covet and clutch in this country.
You can read the poem here at The Seattle Star.
And while you’re there, think about given this amazing new arts outlet some love. A bookmark, a shoutout on Facebook or Twitter, or even a ten-dollar donation.
