For these United States, yesterday was a day of remembrance. Ten years past, terrorism struck the heartland in one of the biggest horrors the nation has ever witnessed. It was one of those moments blazed into the psyche. Into the soul. Hardly a person can’t be turned to and asked, “Where were you when the [...]

I fade in secret Heart with the rain and the leaves— Wilting spring flowers.

We laid the foundation of our hearts And spread beneath an open sky Where neither walls nor whims Knew limitation to licentious surrealism; The clouds, like little rabbits framed Running through the soul, Stood as libation In silent spring. Weeds rack the roots, No resurgence in the recalcitrant puberty, Midst rustled horses and [...]

It is a rush—world— Nothing holds not still above the Colored creations of memory. Years in the making the foundations Sound and solid arise yet Time bleeds into the framework, The tumble of tumultuous tints tingeing like Rainbows bursts of blown out washers – We don’t forget, but the lines they Blush against the [...]

Cold…so cold. High of 14 today. Inside writing, doing my best to hide from the chill. Not as much snow as in the photo – the picture’s from back in 2009 – but the wind and the ice don’t make things any better. On the bright side, a little cocoa and some tiny marshmallows do [...]

A waking in a kiss Cold lips in black light, There is a life here that does not sleep Between the sheets of memory, wrapped She beckons and I heed, this endless Obsession of souls, commands: Drink these lips. * Photography by Lisa Michelle Arhontidis, from her gorgeous photos and interview I conducted with her, [...]

Windows on the world Of this eternal light, this city brimming With memory of massacre and masochistic Delight, windows on a soul of fire Brimming in the depths of those saluted, Stirring in the sweat of the backs stretched forth in greeting, These limbs, outstretched beneath your crumbling walls, Drew cloth and steel against the [...]

I watch them ride memories of my failures– wonder if I tried or all were vaunted blunders. – Too long I’ve been afield, at war with thought, the world– from this madness I have tried to shield and so into the madness, they’ve unfurled.

Divinity in a smile These eyes, like stars alight To stoke the fires of this passionate Elation, embrace of thought That tickles yet the nervous breath Coiling through the nerves— Sensory serendipity. – Watching this Mirage Deception of romance Serpentine coils of medusan gaze Wrapping around this memory Of a man, once knowing These lines, [...]
