"Letter to Jimmy Swaggart on Country Music, Sadness and Heaven," a poem from my first book, is poem of the week over at Sharkforum: Opinion with Teeth. A little teeth is never bad. Is it?
It's chosen by Simone Muench, which is totally cool.

I especially liked:
Heaven must be a kind of fire, a burning down
of the previous mind, like sugar reduced
by fire to charred carbon. A place you need
but cannot want. So what we’re lied to,
at the last? I was hoping you'd disagree. If I could
touch your heart with the tip of my finger
and break you down like a shotgun, I would.
Thanks for directing me to this.
Awesome, Paul!
Simone's one of my Chicago homegirls, and such a fabulous poet.
