Ember and Ice
Some children burn like too-hot coals
Their ember brings light to dark
Some children freeze too hard, too cold
Their surface, far too hard to mark
And you and I? We are children of ember...and ice

I’m a lifelong martial artist. I’ve written since I was young for myself as a form of self examination and therapy. Growing up closeted during the AIDS crisis and in small town Kentucky, I didn’t feel I had many options for outward expression. Life is different today, and I express what I feel here.
