I’ve been thinking a lot. About my friend’s new puppy. And the dark shadow that prevents her from feeling safe by herself. She cuddles this baby thing, gives him a name. Would he have found his mother if not for the trauma that prefaced his arrival in her life? She tells me his name over […]
A cafe in Düsseldorf. It was as busy as it had ever been since the lights turned on and the sweet smell of baked goods and coffee began creeping through the neighborhood. It was lunch time and cold out. All of the cafe’s 22 indoor tables were occupied. In the midst of muttered conversations and […]
Over and over I revisit this place, Hungry for an incited feeling. The sharp and degenerate idea Of me, the jester, the invisible man Being, in the five senses granted me, Organic. Cursed just like all that breathe To think, and wonder, and smother Other ideas pointing to something Deeper and darker and more grievous […]
Futures fan to form a panorama Of life as landscape, ambiguous In the finer details, sharper in the broad ones. The peaks are visible, the journey there hides Unknown, behind a thick white fog.

I am a creature interested in rhymes and reasons. This is a world that has neither. My cheeks burn, the tears settle on my […]
