  • Revised Again

    When you know your English teacher is wat hi g you one does begin to mind for c’s and n’s. I couldn’t tell you what that u-turn of a phenomenon is termed when you take your a and d away from the conjunction. Palm trees. You know. So you end up your game and go…

  • Laughing at Love

    I’ve been putting this off. I’ve been putting this off because it hurts. I’m putting this off even right at this moment because it makes my chest tight. It’s circling my shoulder now, threatening my neck. At some point it’ll give up on the extremities and burrow instead into the deep flesh I hide in…

  • Hawthorn

    Like at least one other writer, I have bad skin. It does the unforgivable trick of itself all over my body. My body made of bones. It goes around my body being skin and starting small fires. I can feel it on the back of my neck, over the vertebrae, just sitting there, starting fires…

  • What Are Tears For?

    I shed them often, I shed them long, I shed them for anger, grief, joy, suffering, anything I can get my tear ducts going for. And I don’t understand them. If I shed them for the slaughter of children whose families I will never know, do the buds regrow? If I shed them for my…

  • In My Life

    I’ve passed countless hours on the road, so many that trying to corner my thoughts on this subject is slippery business.
