Atticus Poetry

Hello humans / aliens, this is Poem 2 from my chapbook, it’s available through the link in my bio. ______________________ A portion of all chapbook sales is donated to two of my very favorite organizations, @TWLOHA ‘giving hope to people struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury and thoughts of suicide’, and to the @pacificwild ‘protecting wolf habitat in the Great Bear Rainforest’. These guys are both doing such amazing work.
