R. L. Allen Biography

That’s just the way it goes,
you know it almost never snows
at Christmas,
...

brighter than the beads
on my necklace you are
no more than four years
have you watched the seasons
...

Everything is going to change.
To quote the words of others,
things are a little strange.
...

Every time I yawn I feel
like my soul is sighing.
...

the room explodes
one massive heartbeat
pumping, pumping
as i dance
...
