Patches of Snow

This is a collection of the poetry I have written between 2013 and 2017. It contains all of the pieces in my e-book chapbook, "Fumblings in the Dark" and much more. There are over 100 pieces in this work. If you like light, breezy poetry or poems that will lift your soul, then this collection of poetry is not for you. In a few places it is humorous, in more than a few it is flippant. But mainly it is dark, exploring ideas that will challenge most and that may frighten those who are not sure in their beliefs. I explore not only my chronic depression but my atheism. My interest in subatomic particles inform many of my poems, but not in an obvious way. I believe that these particles are the closest things in existence to supernatural beings. My hope is that these are what we become when we die and that we lose all sense of individualilty and lose ourselves in a common, universal unity. I hope for and long for this loss of self, this giving in to a greater, common force. But in other places you will find me longing for nothingness. This work displays my human foibles, inconsistencies and weaknesses. I hope you find it entertaining and amusing.
