Hazelnut coffee
in the early gray morning
I drink thoughts of death
Grappling with the loss of those
once living I read poetry

Poem #160 (Burial)
A coldness seeps into the bones
holding its grip tight. The earth
swallows up the body to decompose.
A peaceful rest, a final end for us all.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you return in the future!

Poem #137 (Painting Creation and Death)
Painting, Creation, Art, and the inevitable black hole conclusion to the universe.
Sky blue like paint
thick and smeared across
a canvas
an artists hand
an eye for detail, a cloud here
a mountain there
in the end
it will all be covered
in black ink,
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you will return in the future!

University of Utah Student Dead After Carjacking
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.
