STORYTELLERSTORYTELLER Words of search create voices with an appetite of design. The storyteller opens wide doors in corners where shadows, like broken glass, desire to repair. His tales were dreams yet to happen; visions of three legged dogs, birds with one wing and cats singing. Everyone welcomed the images while sitting silently while as words tumbled out of his hallway of memories. There were promises, confessions and minced oaths. He spoke in parables, naming the characters. A circle of visions appeared within him. He is full on develop, as stories are printed behind his eyes.

THE RELEASE

THE RELEASE     The crossover to sleep is a distance unmeasured.  Awake is sacrificed for a corner of quiet; a temporary market until delivered before voices without images and shapes undergoing changes.   We toss our thoughts like the sheets flowing over us; there’s an unwary boldness rising into hero status.   Night watches … More THE RELEASE

WHAT YOU GOT

A low light struggles to create shadows. Curtains hang lifeless before an open window. A radio in a back room whispers out a sound between static and humid air. Men gather, choosing favorite chairs. Cigarette and cigar smoke drifts up forming its own cloud. Working calloused hands hold weathered playing cards. Suspicious and curious eyes … More BACK ROOM

ANOTHER FOOTPRINT

ANOTHER FOOTPRINT     There are shadows of reminders stepping into our days, our years. Long pauses of thoughts rise slowly to the surface. We consider the chances while dissecting the meaning of how our footprint explains our past.   Our walk becomes a series of runs. Glancing off one reminder of what to do … More ANOTHER FOOTPRINT

BUILDING BLOCKS

Words tumble. Catching one out. Proving a point or wounding a heart.   Dark storms brew within the thoughts.
