Holden Solo Poems

Gay is the new black.
and I can only picture
people
walking their dogs
...

Girl from Alaska
with a bullet in her leg

watching the lightning flash
...

Lying quietly
in the
tall cool grass
on the hill
...

It's three in the morning,

the coffee is cold,
the waffles are warm,
...

The bet -
drive from Denver
to San Francisco
in less than
...

Drowning people
sometimes
die
while fighting
...

Back and forth
the blades go
as they wipe away
the rain.
...

The coming
of the morning
etches
fiery harmonies
...

She's got a lifebelt
by her side;
she and Jesus know
where to hide;
...
