Scott Thomas Outlar hosts the site 17Numa.wordpress.com where links to his published poetry, fiction, essays, and interviews can be found. His chapbook "Songs of a Dissident" was released in 2015 through Transcendent Zero Press and is available on Amazon. His poetry collections "Happy Hour Hallelujah" (CTU Publishing) and "Chaos Songs" (Longsword Press) are both forthcoming in 2016. A Steady Resolve When the cold wind is howling in your face, and each step seems more difficult than the last, trust in the process. When your enemies are lined up a mile long, and you have to face them all down one by one, trust in the process. When the lies are being hissed straight from the snake, and the bitter truth seems like more than you can take, trust in the process. When you reach a high plateau atop the peak, and yet you know there are still a million miles upward to seek, trust in the process. Naked Dreams Crimson nightmares stain the neurons of my inner eye and I can sense the emerging last refrain as lust begins to sing a twisted lullaby of a dying passion collapsing beneath the waves we once stirred up between these sheets The carnage of the vision is more than I can bear but I keep my peepers closed for I know all too well that the truth will be even worse upon the wake Shuttering Lens Every poem is a snapshot in time. This one just blinked.
