What can I say,
I'm not a poet, I'm a novelist.
I like to tell stories.
They float around in my head and sometimes I think if I could just tell someone, if I could just get them out, then maybe I'd be okay again.
But stories tell stories, no matter how much description and imagery I might include.
However, sometimes imagery is all I want to say.
That's why I write poetry. I just want to convey an image, not a message.
So I'm sorry if I was overly defensive.
But you wanted me to try and say something.
And I just don't want to.
