R.J.  Barker
“So you will take me to die with you?” he said. He had seen little that made him believe they had any sort of friendship, but this seemed little thanks for it.”
R.J. Barker, The Bone Ships

Will Advise
“When your heart, from chills, is stiff,
feint memories, of remembrance will come like a whiff,
warm your heart will, they will melt the ice,
and again you will feel nice,
memories like that a pier constitute,
where your ship can rest, where again life is cute,
there you can go in all times of need,
when it’s hope you need, on your hope you can feed…”
