I am new here!	My name is Brian Roberts, I am from Jackson, Mississippi....I attended Millsaps College where I received a B.A. in Philosophy and Computer Science; my passions are 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Faulkner, Shelley, Coleridge, Byron, Joyce, Borges, Dostoyevsky, Camus, and Sartre. I enjoy writing poetry and am currently working on a novella on solipsism; I also am an avid guitarist and composer. Glad to be here!

The Amourette Autopsy	The Amourette Autopsy In vesper’s curt caress there seems no bind To daylight’s brim or morning’s dire decree- Your vertigo embrace confounded vows, Within a steel wheeled cauldron we stirred swamps We hyperventilated hurricanes Cajoled embraces, arrogated from your groom and registry and welling eyes; Celestial bliss, we buzzed God's prayer vault. We even deemed the telescopic murk a trough where genuflections might could reach; You spun away to opium dens, supine, I could not trace Icarian designs. You tiptoed the obituary scene Without your leaving even a toe’s wake- But in your swirl you must have slipped but once in its ambitious, enterprising ink. Oh butterfly why you abjured your wings, Regressed to the cocoon womb’s staid address? I wish I could interrogate your wraith by dream, concussion, disembodiment. Enraptured by your sallow soft trained tress- drapes gaped to manifest seraphic tones of fairness, though distraught by varying hues that sapience esteems the bends of life

The Old Man	I truly savored the verse and flow of your poem, and the universality of it.
