Sodden, gray. Humid mists. Beneath the watch of the gods looming cosmic, eyes wide. Trespassing disallowed, no foot allowed on sacred stone. Families, tribes, friends gather. A market place on ancient ground created. The wise men of old curate the history of the ancestors, coyly dodge around trick questions. Deep thrumming in the ground, distant … Continue reading Ruins

Only Dictators Win the Lottery and Have Private Planes
The following is an excerpt from my novel, The Distance To The End. This excerpt comes from chapter 2, I believe. However, in the final revision, a nice chunk was edited out. I initially included it because I thought it important to convey a specific aspect of Nick's character.

Poem For This Night
The stagnant night drops crystalline rain; apparitions in the deluged black refract shadows and stifled light. The static rush of unseen tides break at our feet. Spirits gathered like free birds in observance of this twilight hour sing songs, feathers glistening, each droplet dodging between quill and plume before joining the chorus of their brothers … Continue reading Poem For This Night

On The Day of Patrick Swayze’s Death
Streaks of pink and blue vibrant behind wispy, grayish clouds. The pond ripples in the sky sprinkling iridescent in the light as the orange burning fades. The hazy blue that is the night lays itself upon the land constant as a stubborn man. Whisper, the tired marks of animals in the field peddling passed the … Continue reading On The Day of Patrick Swayze’s Death

Winter at the Beach
He was standing unaware of the waves that pulsated throughout the shoreline. He was unaware as they crashed into themselves, persuaded by the wind howling down on them silently from the south, pushing them forward into the shores where they shared themselves on his flesh. He was standing unaware of the waves though watching … Continue reading Winter at the Beach
