Happy spring...

Any Time In pleasant opus we can sit together, or apart, on any porch, at dawn, dark, or any time of day. We can have this. Amidst all that is bad in the world, be happy we have this. The clarity is not always there, clouds steal the sun’s shine, maybe our will of some days. But when it’s quiet, as... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Father's Day to all the pops out there around the round world!

Mouse Trap Tiny fuss from the little brown mouse. Smear of peanut’s butter had lured her from a closet. She’d made this house her home, when November showed its teeth. She came in where the cat came out. Through a hole in the door, engineered by occupiers of this cabin near the trees. They’d left in... Sign in to see full entry.

Harbinger

Harbinger Razor smiles, pinched below cherry noses. Piled together as cordwood kids. Posing for pictures amidst the din of kindergarten calliope, in a room built for tumbling. Smiles in forced waves, goaded, pleaded for, by a paunchy, put out photographer. Cherub cheeks, dirty knees, on future... Sign in to see full entry.

Jack Now

Jack Now He joined the world, feet first, early Sunday morning, toward the end of July. Somehow he knew, instinct, and milk from his mother’s breast, first food, deep in the summer. Jack knew, waited, patient, suns rose and set, he breathed through days, sleeping during years. The boy knew, as sure... Sign in to see full entry.

Sugar Jen

Sugar Jen Formica, faded under covered cakes, bear’s claws, pies, pecan, near donuts under glaze. The diner was home to sugar Jen, or, home away from hers, she was known to say. Brown polyester, wrapped sugar Jen’s life, sallow asunder, fluorescent skies, her atrophied heart, all but there, but it... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday. Hey everyone! I'm back and I'll never leave for so long again...

Monday Hungry plow, inside my mouth. First to taste, feast to feast, the tongues wait hot, ready. Behind bone fence, my tongue waits to taste, or bite, or both. You. My tongue, your mouth, your teeth. Lick together, our tongues, dine on fat kisses, plucked from between us. They wait within our heads... Sign in to see full entry.

Sumptuous Six

Sumptuous Six She lit a cigarette, and for six minutes, she stopped. for all the world. She brought the first smoke to the deepest corners of her yearning lungs. Sculpture of smolder collapsed in the air, and she did not move. She marveled, All the tricks of life, she’d seen, or, been part of, she... Sign in to see full entry.
