Never have I seen such a sight as this
She knew of my forthcoming, blessed me with a gift
A marvel on a seeming ordinary day
My fingers stroke its ivory spine and I begin to play
She crashes with my notes, mine soft where hers are strong
Together, she and I, play a sweet, wild song
Never will I forget that day upon the shore
Where the sea and I produced such a wondrous score...
I’m awakened by the sound of my roommate’s voice. She brings a new meaning to the term, “sleeping soundly.” I can’t quite make out the words, though she sounds distraught. I figure I better check on her, so I slip out of bed and sneak across the hall. Placing an ear against her door, I listen.
“No, no, no— don’t go in the basement.“
With hesitation, I turn to look at the door at the end of the...
The Namer entered the home of the creator. Steam clouded the reddish lamplight and it’s warmth enveloped him. He breathed in fresh herbs and spices. His mouth watered.
The creator stood with a bowl cupped in his shaking hands. Was his creation worthy of being named? He watched the Namer carefully as he spun a golden weave and slurped it loudly into his mouth. The mouth of highest regard. The mou...
Dear old friend, have not chagrin
For greying hair and wrinkled skin
You’ve seen and made and loved and lost
Had your spring, summer, fall
Now you’ve only begun to frost
The way of life is not always kind
But, fortunate soul, you’ve survived
All you’ve been through and overcome
You have risen with the tides
And you’ll set with the sun
The lines in your face like lines of a book
Of wisdom...
I asked him what he liked to do for fun and he told me, “Starfish,” with a grin. I imagined him lying sprawled out with arms and legs spread star-like. He grew even more enthusiastic when he saw the look of confusion on my face and asked me to join him. He looked so excited and juvenile and I couldn’t say no.
The next night, I met him in his backyard. The sky was full of bright, blazing specs, l...
Crows croaked a cacophony over the crowd
Sending shivers through spines all the way down
The eeriness evoked an existential dread,
Heightened as the hemp slid over her head
“Today is the day she’ll pay for her crimes!”
Waxing women for witchcraft is a sign of the times
The crowd cackled and cheered for the end had begun
She’d have uttered a curse, but they cut out her tongue
So she smil...
His lips a ripened berry
Wet with morning dew
Pink and plump and sweet
Waiting to be consumed
She, a bitch-black crow
Delighting in his flesh
Lapping up the crush
Until there’s nothing left
I eat a poisoned apple
In hopes that she will die
A bitter contrast to his lips
It burns me up inside...
