    About this ebook

    Written in the midst of travel and at points of reflection, Journeys Become Stories is an eclectic and thoughtful selection of illustrated poems. This volume represents Chris' first collection of Poetic Experiments, poems which touch on the fleeting moments in our lives - those times that often define our character.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
