Gold Man

Gold Man His was a feast on focus, a piercing plan, in the lust of his wishing. An island was he, wealth galvanized his existence, food and water failed to alter him. Gold man drooled at numbers shadows. Gold man did not wonder, if he’d die, and never feel the warmth of a night’s fire, or the cry of... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight

Tonight Withering by a candle’s light, the flowers stand together, in a vase with a handle, atop a table with three legs. Moths, fluttering hints, on edges of honest light, as hedges of thought, steep in my head, my ambition at ebb, though, a soufflé of clarity, rises tonight. Sleep waits in gangs...

Father and Son

Father and Son Pop? Yep? What’s it like to get old? Well, why would you ask that? I just wondered when people decide to go to their graves. It’s not like going to bed. No? Nope. You can’t decide?

In a station for busses...

In a Station for Busses He sits and writes inside a tiny book, corralled by trembling hands. Fortunes pile from his head to the paper. I know, at times he stops he hurts inside, he stares, surprised, as if hatched from another world. He ended my search, for something to study. I looked for anything,... Sign in to see full entry.

Lift me up and put me away

The Stop Sometime, somewhere, a simple breath fell. At present, tender young blades of grass flicker in whisper wind. They guard bottoms of fence posts lining the way. Split rail fences in wicked angles, streak the drive I drive. Presently, so quiet in my head, it rests for me, lets me be. The crows... Sign in to see full entry.

C ould Forest There are confused roots, reaching in every direction, driven, by memory of water. Pregnant night, righteous flash of thunder lightning drenches, steam mists, and a frogs throat swells. Limp limbs dip, heavy leaves curled, holding communal reservoirs. Nests of old species yet... Sign in to see full entry.

Has this happened to you

She Dreams in White I drop my socks, leave a toilet seat up. Let the door go, before she passes, she dreams in white. First year passed, our anniversary with not a notice, and she dreams in white. We fight she cries I win at cards, forget her birthday and she dreams in white. She waits and I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Beautiful bricks

Lancashire B loods Sitting by a bistro, in the city, I was mulling the flavors of a fantastic Panini Italiano. It was warm down in Chelsea, antique in my corner. The bricks in a wall, a broken, crippled wall, spoke to me. They grew thoughts to me, single ingots of countless sagas. They were... Sign in to see full entry.
