more of my shameless book promotion time! continuing with my 2021 collection ‘from my front steps.’ at the time of its writing, i was struggling with the effects of spinal stenosis, masking the pain with copious amounts of booze and unwilling to lean into self-healing even while i still readily helped others. i had to learn that healers have their own process, and timeline, before accepting and stepping into what they already own. ‘from my front steps’ is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please

after awhile you don’t feel the blows… ‘when i get home’ dreaming of uttered exclamationsjoyful breaths across my neck instead i hear your baptized insistencevolley from an old war echoing across the knoll.the chest no longer bloomsthough alive with booted movementsolemn unacceptabilities marching in a cadence led straight to slaughter;and in another breath like a lifetimei find beneath my lids an indefinable shame i’ve clutched for far too long.*#barflypoet#josephapinto© Joseph A.

all of me, nothing but shadow… ‘worthy’ my expression, nothing that isworthy of a beautiful breath;these days displeasure crosses meas most women i have loved,locked under the furrow of my broweyes each a shuttered house i live as a candle blown out—a statement to which no responsewill ever materialize,unfazed even by the splintered corkspoiling bottle,penciled figure awaiting color, a silent star from which hopeperpetually collapses.*#barflypoet#josephapinto© Joseph A.
