Pitter pitter patter patter. Drip drop drip. I’m falling asleep, I’m slipping away, as far as it can get. I try to hold the reigns, I can’t control the bulge, I lose my grasp of this. Sudden shocking balls of light. Cooling flakes of snow. Broken shattered glasses, broken box of family photos. I’ve run […]

Passionate epitaphs have always been my thing. I forget about the moments leading up to the death, forgetting the troubles, the sins, the anger, the mistrust, all of it. A symphony of words release themselves from my vocal cords, heart felt, but misguided; confused, but still true. I’m finding myself in a place where I […]
if you were falling
I took my clothes off, slid under the sheets and held you. Here we are, drifting off, each to our separate dreams even though we’re as close as ever. How beautiful! My dreams’ll come true, your dreams’ll come true, we’ll live them side-by-side though we may be miles, weeks, years, lifetimes apart. This love, this […]
parades go by
I sat on the window ledge, looking out. I saw a rainbow and I saw crushed walnut shells on the street that the parade had swiftly passed through. Looking at the ground now it was obvious that something happened but the mood of the event could not be determined from the remains. The consciousness that […]

As I opened the sake bottle I realized that little metal bit that is partially attached to the lid was coming off with the cap again. Dammit. Why must sake bottles always be overly attached to their lids. I like that little metal bit there, it reminds me of when I was in high school, […]

I’ve always had a hard time expressing myself, to a fault really. Sometimes I cannot figure out how to arrange the words properly to tell someone that the way they are sitting next to me in a chair is driving me completely insane. Things that seem really simple but are not when they are seen […]
Let’s Be Honest
Oblivious as he usually seemed, Dave knew what he was doing most of the time but he liked to sit back and see the movements of others. Dave had met the girl accidentally in passing and knew her type, the way she treated people and the way she cleverly stuffed chocolates in-between her fingers to […]
misty night
The criminal darted out from behind the back of the building, looked both way and ran into the dark of the night. It was a lovely night. The moon was out though it could hardly be seen through the dense mist and city lights. City lights that obscured everything. There was a couple leaning against […]
if this isn’t nice
As we paddled down the river together I felt a unison I’ve never felt before. I could feel the wind flowing in a perfect way, it was like everything in the world was devoted to making this ride through this forest peaceful, quiet and right — just for us two. I knew the currents would […]
air will crush you
Storm clouds and strange weather formations are usually frightful news to birds, airplanes, really anything that spends a lot of time up in the air. These two birds, however absolutely loved to dart up and down through the arcus clouds. They loved to dip and dive through the most ominous of forming condensation funnels. Danger […]
