the judgement difficult.”

Hippocrates

“‘I just sort of drifted into it.’ That’s almost always the real answer to everything.”

Imperfect Offerings: Passages is the second in a trilogy of poetry volumes by R. D. Fletcher. The poems are a journey through various stages of his life, from his earliest memories to when he will take my last breath. They explore past lives, passions long spent, and nascent ideas that have evolved and blossomed over the years.
