Brutal, lyrical, and unforgettable—
Aluminum Cowboys is Thomas W. Case at full power.
The acclaimed author of
It’s Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the
Madhouse and Sleep Always Calls delivers
a collection of poetry and short fiction
that cuts to the bone and refuses
to look away.
Clearly, this isn't a poem.
I just released my 4th book,
available on Amazon.
Please forgive the shameless
plug.
If my cats died,
I'd get a pug.
Lol.
I love you all.

Good luck Thomas
Thanks, my friend.
Most welcome Thomas
Love the shameless plug! Good luck, Thomas! Rock on! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you.
Most welcome.
if my cats died
if my cats died tomorrow
the house would grow quiet
their absence would echo sharp
against these sunlit walls
their purring has been my song
filling the hollows of my home
teaching me how love lingers
even in the smallest spaces
but grief can’t be traded away
or buried under a new heartbeat
if i found a pug’s warm eyes
would i be healing or hiding
we carry loss inside our palms
gentle enough to cradle new life
their memory will remain entire
etched between every soft goodbye
Congratulations brother
