Nightfall Truce

As the night draws to a conclusion,
this war between us explodes with
landmines, tripping over
wires of insecurity,
cutting through the tension
of our invention.
After consuming red wine,
distraught tears flow through
a crack in your voice,
saying what you couldn’t say sober.
Everything in the rearview mirror
is someone else’s future.
Andrew grew up in the Evergreen State. He fell in love with writing short stories and poems in high school. He found writing cathartic through his experience in foster care. After high school, he served three years in the army. Andrew was stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as a paratrooper, and the fragility of life strengthened his faith in God. After his service, he returned to Washington and graduated with a degree in general studies. He nearly completed a master's degree. Among other things, Andrew is an avid runner, a self-published writer, and a pop-punk music enthusiast.
