Tales of Triumph and Tribulation
It's only been a year, but it could've been a lifetime. Noni is now a foreign word on my tongue and YWS is a black and white photo hidden at the bottom of a dusty shoebox. Once upon a time, I thought YWS was a permanent part of me, and in some ways it still is even though too many pieces have been washed down the storm drain and forgotten in a dirty yellow taxi. And there's no denying that I'm not the same person now as I was the last time I wrote this introduction to that single month where the layers of paint are stripped away in rhythm and rhyme, but I never could've guessed how different things would be. I can't say I didn't miss it here, but I can't say that after this I'll stay, but for now I shall wash away the shadow and light the room with tales of my triumphs and tribulations from the time of who I once was to who I've yet to become (in poetic verse, of course). But for now, I wish you all a greeting and send my best of luck to thirty poems in thirty days.
