I wonder, how do you trust a man whose eyes can go from green to gone in a single night?

But you told her to smile.

And I

I don’t remember what color her eyes were.

I have never been more grateful and humbled and proud to share a piece, and a collaboration of the arts, poetry and film. I truly feel like a vessel this poem moved through, and I feel truly blessed to have been allowed to craft it from the air and experiences around me. RIP, Stephen, this year, the 10th year, I I mourn little and celebrate wildly all that you were, and all that you still are. 

Pass On

I have never been so moved by a piece of writing in my entire life.  This poem reminded me why I love slam poetry, why I love words, why I love language.  Thank you so much for this, Michael; it is a gift.
