when you have already lived

all of your lives

and still, you continue

to find yourself

going and going and going

you are living

(the) three of everything

This is the third book of a trilogy, along with "Today is this... word knots and poem shapes from the Multicolored Universe" and "1 + 1 = 22: the Math of God", by Todd Brady de Garcia aka toddymanners.

All three books explore the nature of love, family, finding purpose, addiction and recovery, mourning losses, and living within the the epiphanies and evolutions of the present, through the context and first person lens of the LGBTQ+ experience.

More books of poetry will follow this one, as they continue breathing themselves into existence as this book, and the two before it have. Hopefully, by the time you have read any or all of them, you will find yourself writing one, two, or three of your own. I all the way hope so, especially if your experience with writing yours feels as fantastic as it has been for me while writing books 1, 2, and this one, (the) 3 of everything.
