Time for a Change

“He who rejects change is the architect of decay.  The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.”  ~Harold Wilson Change is pretty much the word of the week for this little writer. Shiny new apartment change begins on Saturday. Expenses are soon to be changing. Plus, new reviews on the book are supposed [...]

Passing Through

Not even laughter marked the passing where the final hop was made, where I found time waiting with a smokeless cigarette, and shadows played burlesque tragedy upon bones once called foundation. There were memories in the scraps of smiles. Cracked and bloody in the marsh, a framed lie will sink into the sight unseen. One [...]

Visions of Yester-Year

  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 [...]
