This first poem was just an an attempt to mix some imagry from watching a fall night sky (I do a lot of), and the feelings of breaking up. I've always wanted to expand on this one but haven't yet.
Everyone askes if this second one is from personal experience. No its not. I wrote this one after watching one of those commercials about reporting any abuse you might know of. Was thinking how it must have felt for the child. And this poem came to mind.
PO'd at the publisher though. I explicitly told them that all the lines of the poem should be centered, it was an attempt to shape the poem not just write the imagry. But they still messed it up. I'll have to post up a corrected version sometime.
