Suicidal souls enjoy paper products
On cold winter nights
in front of a warm fireplace.
Call:
If I could I might
for a start…
thinking it right
crawl inside your heart
on my hands and knees
and stand and move
to make room
for me, maybe
build an indestructible
soft spot
to which I was the key

Cav is one of the finest people I know - and a joy to see in action performing his poetry. If not for his warm welcome the second time I ever attended an open mic (it was at the Nia Coffeehouse), I might never have gotten more involved in the Cleveland scene.
