Each setting carefully spaced alabaster dishes crystal glasses set with care and grace. Arrange with consideration each piece of silver sparkle and glimmer place with deliberation Every basket and bin ceramic and copper perfectly proper down to the ramekins Wooden table and chairs polished and clean shiny and pristine wait for a guest to sit […]

Fifteen Breaths
Mirror plaque Golden tracks Steak no good send it back Neon signs Hair so fine Dance to excess wine and dine Shining shell Taco bell Believe in heaven live in hell. Attention whore Convenience store Gluttony on a laminate floor Wit mistook Have the look Worry not shun the book […]
Plumbing Depths
Give. The well is deep. Give. Though your eyes may weep. Give. The reservoir is full. Give. Though it may hurt your soul. Give. The reserves are plentiful. Give. Though you find your wallet resentful. Give. The cup runneth over. Give. Though thy world be asunder. Give. The seconds provide. Give. Though you feel out […]
Tornadoes and Falling in Love
Merry-go-rounds and Tilt-a-whirls. Roller coasters and roundabouts. Spinning tops and spirals. Ferris wheels and bottles. Wheel-of-Fortune, doing flips. Somersaults and cartwheels. Bedrooms after many drinks. Car wheels as we travel. The tires on our bikes. Our bodies as we dance. Tornadoes and whirlpools. Records, and falling in love. We love the circling, rotating, revolving feeling, […]
Shine, shine, shine.
The stars know nothing more than to shine, shine, shine Those on the ground look to the sky, sky, sky. To gaze upon the sparkles in the night, night, night. Wishing that we could burn so bright, bright, bright. Shinning like the stars in our sight, sight, sight. Ignoring how brilliant we are inside, inside, […]

Once Upon a War Crime
There we were, You and I. Staring into, each others eyes. Then we were, so sublime. Together forever, Once upon a time. There we were, intertwined. Nothing concerning, Naught in mind. Then we were, passionate and blind. Engulfed in each other, two stars aligned. There we were, without care. Content in the moment, going nowhere. […]
Prestidigitation
What is fear without a rush? What of confidence without doubt? What is ecstasy without melancholy? What of silence without song? It’s the great emotional sleight of hand, the divulging of one and sublimation of the other. It’s the perfect sentimental illusion. Proffering grandness while shrinking another. What is anger without meekness? What of love without […]
The Unbent
Though the wind tears upon my face and rips through my clothing, and slices into my skin, Though the rain hammers my scalp, drenches my coverings, and chills me to the bone, Though the sun creates blisters upon my neck, and causes me to shed that which shields my flesh, Though the snow and ice […]
