Because of You

Because of you, each day is a melon slice

smelling sweetly of earth.

Thanks to you, I live on the honey of hope.

Dear Friend,

I am first and foremost an avid reader of poetry. I host a podcast about poetry's history. My first book is a small collection of poems about rising up during hard times. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to impress you with my writing. Through Darkness Together is my first book and I have a much longer book that I'd like to release before Christmas. I've been a self starter and entrepreneur my whole career which spanned more than twenty years on Wall Street. So, what else could I do but go forward with confidence and self publish my book? I have some very important things to say and publishing was urgent. Please check out my book for free on Kindle unlimited or to own for $3.

Link to the book:

Ode To the Police

by KEITH S. WILSON

may your feet and hands be soft. may the pads of your fingers be like aloe vera kleenex and your chest fill the land with the strong

and dependable comfort of medicated balm.

may your hair glitter like the targets of stars

and your sirens resound like children

for their fathers.

may we see you coming a mile away.

may you taste the common taste of milk the way we taste the common taste of milk and your heart become extreme—large as a softball at the zipper of the ribs and therefore let it be

enough.

let it be so big you cannot breathe

for all your other feeling
