Bullets in the Temple

October 21st, 2025 — A new ritual unfolds this night. Jono Borden’s Bullets in the Temple (To Open Closed Minds) has been summoned into the world, a collection where the line between reality and illusion is sliced open with the precision of a wordsmith’s blade. Here, language becomes both weapon and sanctuary, a dangerous tool wielded to unlock the doors of the mind that were meant to stay sealed. The poet stands in the shadows, his pen drawn, his gaze unwavering—an agent of transformation, a silent architect of your deepest, most unwelcome reflections.

Within the temple’s crumbling walls, Borden presents an offering—each poem a bullet fired into the silence of thought. The boundaries between dream and waking life blur, and what is birthed is neither pure fantasy nor cold, hard truth, but something in-between—a relentless unfolding of subconscious fires that burn through the architecture of your very existence.

This is not a collection that promises solace. It is an ordeal, a confrontation with the parts of yourself you’d prefer to ignore, an excavation of wounds once thought healed, now re-opened with startling clarity. Through Bullets in the Temple, Borden’s words claw at the fabric of your reality, pulling you deeper into the labyrinth where meaning fragments, echoes distort, and only you are left to bear witness.

The temple is open. The bullets are in flight. Welcome to the dark, fractured sanctuary of the mind.
