Writing in Devanagari

 

I’m no ragdoll, but this could snowball.
Maybe it’s just protocol, but its ethanol.

I think we got off to a bad start.
A morning depart, perhaps a forewarning.
You say not to take it to heart.
A mad sound you call fine art.
It is a slow crawl, I recall the frequency.
At least have the decency to keep this peacefully.

I think we got off to a bad start.
My sweethearts like Mr. Darcy
An imaginary part with sorry
Napoleon Bonaparte and calamari

On the contrary, let us not write it in Devanagari.
For now I’ll tell my diary,
But maybe on Lake Erie over a bloody mary,
You’ll hear my sob story,
and we can leave it to the grand jury.

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 […]

Becoming Another

I am obligated to remember this; being small. For weeks I recall nothing at all. Once I was ordinary, Lying under another’s sequoias tree. When it thundered, I hid in a pit. A Cratus is among us, His three siblings too. Mother, I am becoming another. I must swallow it all. I have never known, […]

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 […]
