All works housed within this domain—every line, image, structure, and silence between—belong to Richard White, unless another hand is named.
These pages hold poems, stories, reflections, and fragments drawn from years of ink and memory. Some were written yesterday. Others have traveled long roads from worn notebooks and dim-lit hours to arrive here.
Ownership does not fade with time nor loosen with exposure. The passing of years does not grant permission.
