Secrets
Mind your secrets my love Each one weighs you down A small leak in the bilge It’s nothing Until it’s something .. Some like a dragging anchor You stand watch Lest you’re dashed upon the rocks .. Each waits for the misstep The drunken slip of the tongue The friend that didn’t know You weren’t […]

Castaway
You’re never too old to cry for that which is lost The pieces of my life are woven together with the thinnest of thread. I don’t think there is anyone that even remembers Cambria Heights.

The Doctor Is On The Lift
I skied over to the bottom of the lift, timing my speed so that I could ski right past the “wait here” line and up to the loading line without stopping. Done right, you come to a smooth stop right as the chair comes up behind you. It was nighttime; patches of light dotted the […]

Leave It Alone
Some of us have a place where we keep the stuff. The rage, from all the betrayal From all the injustice From all the victimization From all the brutality Shrinks and aunts think we should open it up This box of rage “It’s better to confront it…” Would they say that if they knew what […]

It’s In The Can, Man
My god, you’re always losing focus. First you’re distracted by the seals, now by the group of girls, all dressed up and on their lunch break. You shake your head and check the split time on your watch. Not too bad. A little off pace but its flat for awhile so you can make it […]

Riverwalk – Subtext Prompt
“I hope this is good, I mean, I heard it was. It’s been awhile so I want you to enjoy it” “You’re so sweet,” she squeezed his hand. He looked away from her, making believe he was checking out the movie poster, ‘your’re so sweet’, kiss of death he thought. Next thing she’ll be telling […]
