Odd Little Man

He was an odd little man, in the meanest of terms, traveling far into the city, much further than he intended. And on his way he gathered carcasses of animals and birds, pretending they were alive and making conversation with them for company. He did not know he was lonely with no place among the living, so he chose the remains of those who reflected his image the most. Death followed him through alleys and streets and ballooned like a mirror in every face-- his mind the vestige of a very cold... Sign in to see full entry.

Distant stars don't give up souls for the living, as if we are reborn all at once, searching for the shadow without turning.

Give the Man Credit

I suppose I should give credit where credit is due. I should show him the utmost justice. He truly is charming, as he says. A little solemn too, but oh, the things he plans to do. In the evenings, he pulls words from his pocket and revives my drooping spirit. Daily, he uses powers of persuasion and philosophy, overwhelming me with lofty thoughts and comforting phrases-- provocative yet soothing. Soon, he will silence all discussion and draw me to him, under a kiss that falls like a blow to the... Sign in to see full entry.
