Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
A luckier man I know not one, afloat in a marsh, on his hip a gun. Daddy haunts me, the eerie echo in his head. With heavy heart his journey he doth dread. He longs for the sky a California Blue, and in his lover’s eyes the very same hue. The sun will burn the swamp mist from his mind. Gone are the shackles that so long did bind.
