A twilight suburban neighborhood of identical white houses with white picket fences stretches into the distance. One upstairs window glows warmly, revealing the silhouette of a rifle.

i grew up in a town that was white,
with white picket fences—what a sight—
and white lights to keep it bright at night.
we mowed our white lawns with delight,
on our large white mowers, sitting tight.
got it for a white price, now—don’t be trite—
or i will drive down white avenue alight,
all gassed up with rage—a white fright—
after getting my rifle, big and white,
I’ll show them all that white might
makes right because i got a white’s right.

first, though, i’ll turn on a white nightlight,
for my white kids in their white beds tonight.

Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
