I am sad.
Recently, I posted this Facebook status:
The following is inspired by a post I saw on my news feed recently. I am saddened by North Carolina’s ban on gay marriage, but I am not at all surprised. Unfortunately, we live in a country that is still teeming with ignorance and hatred. I know that my family and I disagree on a great many things, but gay marriage is important to me. Until gays are...

Fragments of Journals, 2011

I sort of wish I could be a caterpillar inching along on a warm branch, nothin’ to do, nowhere to go, metamorphosis but a vague tremor on the edge of instinct, not at all conscious of the chrysalis to come.

To take this page of babble and fashion it into some brilliance; to turn it into a poem and then to watch that poem grow up off the page and inspire a...

POEM, life, the universe & everything

My life is going quite well these days. I am going to a methadone clinic, am off the smack (trust me, this is a very, very good thing) and am living in a recovery house. I am trying to get financial aid sorted out so I can get back into...

Another appeal for new followers:
http://sodomite-poet.tumblr.com/
My new poetry blog (“TENACITY: The Poetry of Ross Robbins”) sure could use some more followers. I have three so far—not bad since I started it yesterday—and I would like many, many more. I just posted a little gem called “My Formal Apology”—go check it out, people, I wrote it last December in the midst of a crystal...

I started my new poetry blog.
http://sodomite-poet.tumblr.com/
I sure would appreciate some followers. Just one poem posted so far (“On the pressure of the notebook’s first page”) but there are plenty more to come, I assure you. Go check it out, follow if you feel like making my day.
It's been too long.
So I’m back now—gonna start updating again. I think I might start a new tumblr purely for my poetry…would any of you follow it? Pretty please?

POEM: A Rushing in the Ears Unto Death
A Rushing in the Ears Unto Death
Susurrus, you fleeting glimpse of dashing ear with salty shake a sliver of caress and yes. You sideswipe my sense of sound like the Doppler of a siren passing—pitch inflecting ambulance grief with more urgency than that rushing blare implies while still.
The tintinnabulation of my grandmother’s chimes intertwined with my impression of regeneration, spring...
Christian values
autumninmichigan:
Whenever people say that we need to return to our Christian values I’m like, “Yes! We should totally help the poor and love people unconditionally and preserve God’s Earth just like Christ taught us.”
And then they’re all, “No, I mean we should hate the gays.”
I know we haven’t met, but I love you. Fucking brilliant.
Fuck.

POEM: The Interconnected Rages
The Interconnected Rages
My anger sketches out the landscape an architect of scratchy twigs and jagged lines (I feel something deeper than need and thus unnameable) insistence I have a big thing to say. To winter even the least of my worries—insurmountable.
Slicker than a seal looks, oily, black like crude-soaked down.
My weeping robs its tears from famine victims whose breaths billow a...
