Quarks and Quasars

Ah, the bipartisan of 23. All people seemed to question X about was Y. Where is Y? He’s at… -Time passes between drinks- It’s so cool Y gets to… Yes, X thinks, but my career has just begun. I write poetry and I love to paint. But X halts the thoughts. When was the last […]

The Gilded Lies of Beauty and Power

Her waves of kindness and fits of rage left her tested like their pageant queens. A pretty yacht docked at the Maramont port, she’s just the tender and wayward age of youth. A pink dress, mascara, and heels, and later downtown in tight leather that cinched the waist.  She looked the part but missed all […]

Did he cross the dry Sierras?

  Did he cross the dry Sierras to shape a fable Paris? How blue it is, the end of hilltops. The colonists are realtors, with fuel pumps against the sun. With a shade in the eye, no thrones to weight and poems to speak. Darker than Vesuvius, a dearth of Caruso. Yes, there is something […]

The Sparrow’s Sow

Father feeds the birds gathered in the barn Though never seeing his hand Sparrow is told to thank him But it was her mother who flew into the sky And brought a penny to the nest. It is the same hand Sparrow is told to thank That provides the cat its dinner A repast out […]

So for now, I’m Switzerland

So for now, I’m Switzerland. Impartial to the artificial sweetener, Wrapped in alliance, Presented with value, With a taste so sweet, But clever to sidestep. Uninterested in swinging knifes, Seemingly inconsequential, Covertly hiding ulterior motives, An expression so simple, But sharp against skin. Independent to the watch’s demand Waiting for the next tick, Seldomly reality, […]

Little Porcelain Doll

A china doll Painted golden vanilla Etching out the black Acrylic blues Just trying to find new hues. She found God Sleepwalking Talking to herself Wiping the imaginary blood off her hands All these moods. She made a run from the unknown And clung to the life of Crowley. Heights unimaginable Emotionally entombed Roped in […]

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

The Girl in the Crystal City

    And she had a seemingly perfect life. A blonde beauty, A talented writer, A charming social life, A textbook boyfriend, A striking internship, A life in the Crystal City. But her car broke down today. It was a long time coming, Something with the actuators. And her boyfriend didn’t show last night. She […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
