 the ho!d extends our deepest regrets and condolences to Night Hawke and 
 his family on the passing of Night's father. Night Hawke is a regular 
 contributor of the hold with poetry, art,- the column Roadrage and he is the 
 founder/creator of the mighty Insurrection.
may memories of your father comfort you, Night!


sadly, a great poet-pal of mine has passed on. the talented wisdom and wit of this man's writing has inspired many and he continually encouraged those around him to read and study the art. I am most fortunate I had the opportunity to meet and share poetry (and other stuff*) with this awesome-talented writer last year in St. Louis. the inspirations he spread will never be misplaced by those that knew him and someday the rest will know...I'll never forget the way he flaunted his admiration of me, but most of all, I will never forget him! luv ya patch!
*he wouldn't have wanted me to say this any other way...CRY!
I'm only sad that I don't have more of his poetry to display.

Voyeur

I got drunk on my ass
I looked up the dress
of the sleepy universe
and saw sequined panties
glittering
in stars.

-Robert O'Brien (Patchen)
Robert admired the poet Kenneth Patchen.
