GRAVITY
An insignificant thing
lacks the needed weight to attract.
Laws state
it will barely inspire a reaction.
An insignificant thing
will always try to accrete,
even if hate is the only available mass.
Let it build
until you collapse alone
beneath your own weight.
Then for a moment
you will become a fire on the horizon,
beautiful
and impossible to ignore.
Accretion's publication date is April 1, 2020 (Brick Books). The launch was originally scheduled to take place on April 9 at Another Story Bookshop (315 Roncesvalles Ave) in Toronto. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has, of course, been postponed indefinitely. The book can be purchased directly from Brick Books.
