No Reservations

Anthony Bourdain, June 25, 1956-June 8, 2018

I wrote this 6 years ago after reading several social media posts critical of Anthony Bourdain’s death by suicide on June 8, 2018.

Words 
can drive 
nails 
through flesh,
opening wounds
not even gods can heal,
and there are some
with demons 
neither fortune 
nor fame can budge,
people with flaws 
too numerous 
to mention
but never 
too numerous 
to judge.
