over the last 5 years I’ve come to unlearn and relearn everything about myself. the person I thought I was died violently and was reborn as something much closer to the man I’ve always wanted to be. yet I still have much work to do to atone, to amend, to heal. but through it all, I’m still alive. three loves, five children, a thousand experiences I wish I could forget. fractured from soul to spine but never broken clean.

this site will be active…eventually. I’ve hidden (most) of the words I published before, but I left some poetry up for those curious. things were very dark for a while. apologies to anyone who was around. the book I was writing will come to light in one shape or another. more art will follow.

until then, you can find me on Bluesky: @teamzxcv.com
