"Lost love was a Honda door
left open on the shoulder of a gravel road.
I debated shutting it,
leaning my weight against it,
but the hinge was rusted."

Hanging the Angels is out now.

The following is an excerpt from “The Fire Doesn’t Care,” a poem from my book Hanging the Angels, which releases later this week. During the podcast, we held space for ghosts, poems, and everything in between.

Say goodbye—
driving home under the salt moon.
Cold hands on the wheel.
Don’t waste autumn
staring at your shoes.
— The Wooden Angel
from Hanging the Angels (Finishing Line Press, out this week)

I’m Blake Lynch—poet, survivor, analyst, game dev, father, and keeper of haunted things.

Hanging the Angels (Finishing Line Press, 2025) reckons with grief, myth, and memory across a century of ghosts.

I write to archive what won’t stay buried.

Follow if that’s your kind of liturgy.
