Friends, welcome to The Book of Common Words, where we explore the Christian spirituality of being human through poetry and prose about my life, art, and the Christian faith. I’m your writer, Aaron. This publication is 100% reader supported. Thanks for joining me in this exploration.

Content Warning: Death, Suicide

I've lost every
one, and again
when a new
name added to
the list.

They all pulled
back, like a
gun hammer cocking
before sending the
bullet off

into decisions never
undone but always
felt. Slow hands
clasp as memories
slip further

away just like
their name. Here's
one, and another,
a friend, and
an ex-brother

all becoming a
grief that comes
together to remind
me of (all
over again)

what I lost.

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
