Just South of Midnight

We've all had those moments, in the wee hours of the night, just south of midnight, when unbidden thoughts and emotions come to the fore. We think of past events, that somehow, we can't let go of, and they play with us, offering no rest or resolution. We think of the future and what it may offer. We think of the present, creating multiple scenarios to get to that precarious future. Building castles in the mind, of the mind, on foundations of dark mist, desire, fear, pain, and, maybe, some hope.

The poems in this volume speak to these moments - a product of such nights. Some also call poems like this, observational poetry. Poems that offer up descriptors of the world and our journey through it. Whatever they are called, as long as they call to you, perhaps late at night, when sleep seems like an elusive dream.

As with all books in the Life Series, each book is standalone, and can be read in any order.
