    About this ebook

    Unbearable Lyric is composed of the darkest, unavoidable angst, pain, loss , and disappoitment - an emotional concentration camp where all news coming from the outside says the Allied Armies dont stand a snowballs chance at bringing liberation, ever. Its the expression of the most hideous disaster ever to befall mankind, the actual repeated rape and bludgeoning murder of every girl and woman youve ever had the balls to accost in your wet dreams: because of your wet dreams. A song of words so true we dare not hear them.

      Oct 22, 2018

      1. When the tomatoes were ripe, when my closet was eager with crisp shirts and clean sneakers, when I had jumped off of a high swing and was lying in the grass listening to mourning doves and lawn mowers—that’s when the hot air balloons came. One of

      Death

      Mar 1, 2020

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.

      Growing up on a farm, I learned to detest the outdoors as a place of pain and boredom. That boiling summer of 1976, when there was no water and lavatories were not to be flushed – I was heaving hay bales about; then corn stooks. This was Glamorganshi
