Challenge
We lost a lot with the passing of Chris Cornell. To many, he was a mentor, a brilliant writer; an inimitable voice. Until June 30th, this challenge is for the friends and fans to write their stories, poems, tributes: anything about him. We will be putting together a book for the Cornell family, of the posts entered, as well as making copies available for purchase, donating all proceeds to suicide prevention. In partnership with Seattle Refined, the most shared post will be read on air, and posted on seattlerefined.com.

swallow those pills

why did you

delegate your bills

you tried to live (most days)

but a cage

surrounded you

and no one knew

i wish i had known you

gorgeous and alone

just like me

and Jesus Christ

wise in your own way

same as any day

i wish i had known

why did you

swallow those pills

why did you

grab that rope

i could have helped you

wash away

that rain from your

beautiful

broken body
