My name is Mike Rugnetta. I chose this poem because I didn't really know a lot about comics poetry before I discovered Ink Brick and this is a poem that really stuck with me as far as, as far as I understand it, what the medium can do. It's just, it feels like it has, like, a lot of depth and there's a lot to it that feels really special and really particular to visual medium. There's the way the text sort of changes and the placement of it. Just, I don't know, like, it really speaks to me.
Tonight
The sky is full of violent light.
Is it an illusion or is it a sign?
The moon pulls the tide
It goes
High/Low/High
(So do I)
Falling backwards feels like
going back in time.
I alone
Can't remember which way we
went.
And/
or why
Most of it is missing tonight.
