always cold in the north perhaps coming here was a mistake after all It's not so much the weather as it is the ever gray sky It favors depression Lack of sunlight lack of vitamin D He walked his dog around the block and counted zero smiles out of sixty-three faces seen and passed by The block was no fun so he followed the dog into the back alleys. It picked up on some smell and the smell grew potent enough that even he was beginning to feel it Not pleasant He expected a dumpster But found two dumpsters and a homeless old man huddled between them Ragged to threads holding a dead raccoon on his lap eating from its flesh raw and bloody Aw shit, he whispered. Maybe this place ain't so bad after all
Oh cripes! The ending was brutal. I like the vibe this poem sets from the beginning!

I’m not sure what to say… maybe that I’m worried about myself because I like your writing so much?
Just read a whole string of your poetry. I’ve got kind of a buzz going on, thanks to you and your brown paper bag writing.
Unusually creative.
