Writer in San Francisco, CA
Sun dips down and the days become longer,
the trees getting ready for hibernation drop all their leaves
and I can hear them rummaging in the gutter with the wind.
Waiting for the rain to end and the snow to litter the ground
freezing me out, freezing my soul.
Thank you for reading my writing! I hope you will return in the future!

What do skies say? Above us and so blue
waiting for the sun to implode become death.
Will the sky change? from blue to green, to red, or
yellow ? as atmospheres change as organisms die out
leaving just rubble, ash, and dust.
Thank you for reading my writing! I hope you will return in the future!

a poem as a place
that I can situate myself in
somewhere between abstraction
and soul, where thoughts and
meanings are created and misused
over and over again.
Thank you for reading my writing! I hope you will return in the future!

I occupy a space
quiet and disconnected
observing the clouds against
the changing colors of the sky
as the sun dips down
into the hills. I reach out
in hopes that there is
another space for me
somewhere else.
Thank you for reading my writing! I hope you will return in the future!

Today classes are canceled at the University of Utah due to the death of student ChenWei Guo last night during a carjacking in the Red Butte Canyon.
The suspect, Austin J. Boutain, is still at large and police are searching.
The University of Utah’s President released a message in response to the event. More information is provided by The Salt Lake Tribune in the following article, http://www.sltrib.com/news/2017/10/31/shots-fired-near-university-of-utah/ as well as The Daily Utah Chronicle http://dailyutahchronicle.com/2017/10/30/shooting-red-butte-canyon-puts-u-housing-lockdown/
This a tragic day for the Salt Lake City community and the University of Utah. Support for students is provided in counseling centers all over the UofU. Everyone is impacted by this senseless act of violence. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of ChenWei Guo.

UPDATE: Austin J. Boutain was found and taken into custody yesterday.
