Atlas St. Cloud - HERE I AM, PRY ME OPEN

i'm not afraid of dying
i'm afraid of dying
& not staying dead.
i'm afraid of spontaneous human combustion
& i'm afraid of proving myself right.
i'm afraid of the mess that's been made of my thoughts.

INWARDS / INNARDS

HERE I AM, PRY ME OPEN is nine months of outpouring & stopped & erupting emotion. six months of pre top surgery poetry & 3 months of post-op. woven within these poems are stories St. Cloud can't stop telling, thoughts he can't help but keep thinking, spirals & cycles he’s been unravelling; in these poems St. Cloud finally gives voice to some of his most powerful demons.
