They said, “The peace couldn’t last for too long.” You could hear the acrid breeze moving through the leaves. You could see the diseased air stripping the trees. My daughter asked, “Daddy, what does it mean?” I answered, “Things are about to become scary. So be wary of the character of strangers you meet.” Roll […]

The Blessed Ones
Repeating patterns of trees whizzed by with their deciduous reflections washing over the windshield of the car. The neighborhood was idyllic and plastic, a painted picture of manicured and trimmed suburbia. An affluent heaven on earth, of sorts, safe-harboring neighbors from the naked environments of the city, while populating itself with people who spent their […]
Papers
The candle lit, the flame dances atop the wick, dancing between the winds, pushed between pursed lips. The arcane spoken word, the sunshine, bringing life to those without it. The twist, thirsty and peckish for more like a deep pull, but settling for just a sip. On October the fifth, I climbed into my mind […]
That’s What She Said
A beautiful, blue sky day. A few clouds smiled, Nodding as they floated away. The waves fell onto the shore. Glissing notes in harmony, Hooked on the feeling, wanting more. She looked up at me and said… Be my lazy Sunday afternoon. Cool your troubled mind, Surrender willingly. Everything’s here you’ll find, Hold me closely. […]
Two Chairs
Four chairs. One plate, One fork. Two chairs. One napkin, One partially filled glass. One chair. A microwave meat pie sat, Camping out across the table from him, ignored by the noisy, white conversation, of too many red lettered bills and junk mail. The TV sat just out of view, slightly out of frame, with […]
Night Morning
In the time between night and morning. In the delirium of the border country between awakening and near post sleep, a kiss dreamed can feel real. “The whipped up, ephemeral body feels solid enough to elicit a reaction in those in-between hours.” He said with an excited tone. Sugary sweet it must be. The mind […]
The Room
The day, sitting just over my shoulder, was a particularly, hot and sunny one. It was not a day to go unnoticed. Fuzzy and out of focus, the day’s canvas painted itself with the blotting of greens, yellows, blues, and browns. The leaves, on a nearby bush, bobbed on the hot air, resisting the push […]
Train Tracks
Each day after school, a little brown boy grabbed his backpack to begin his journey home. As he exited the main doors, he would look down at his sock with the blue stripe, near the top, slouching around his ankle. He would reach down and pull it up. As he began to walk, it would […]
The Heist
Selena passed them on the way into the place. A gorgeous distraction, black leather and lace. Bottom bass. from right to left, left to right, MJ-like always surpassing the hype. She tossed ’em a sly smile, followed up by her fly style. Nothing but raised eyebrows and Ooohh faces, is gettin’ riled. She was my […]
Mariposas Y Lluvia
Like attentions fixed upon Winter, Floating to the ground. Creeping madness imagining snows melt, Cooling the brow. Found floating in the sharing of thought, Finding like rest in burial sought. Cupping handfuls, Bathing in the abstraction for hours. The nuanced intentions, Sesame the arms of flowers. Toe touching head, A still of curved form. Flipping […]
