TOP LEFT POCKET

He was well suited. A tie with statement. A suit bragging of lines with color and Strong solid shoes, tied tightly and well shined.   In the top left pocket of his suit jacket was a blue satin handkerchief, tightly folded with one point turned up like the ear of an animal listening for its … More TOP LEFT POCKET

RARE RELEASES

There was an opening in the day, a slice of casual interruption, a box of memories waiting to be unwrapped.   Thin tensions of thought become light and airy, like dry desert winds finding no resistance rushing over the surface.   Within canyons of air, rare releases of the soul surface offering insights to the … More RARE RELEASES

DIFFERENT

When knowledge arrives it brings a behind bucket full of pain with it. It draws the line of this and that and the rights of wrongs and the wrongs of being right. It curbs your words and convicts your tongue. The sun looks different and the moon not so bright. Your friends change and your … More DIFFERENT

WITHOUT END

A CLOTHESLINE

 Twisting winds send busy fingers of air between garments hanging damp on the clothesline. Clear cool drips escape from sleeves and thick pants falling like rain; lightly beginning and then ending. Long brilliant white sheets billow and snap, breathing like whips, trapping the air then setting it free. The fluttering cloth sounds like birds passing … More A CLOTHESLINE

THE OTHER SIDE

A concrete steel arm, weighted like a planet connects rocks and land for passage of feet and wheels to there and back over water the stretching mass made by hands forgotten to time labored their sweat and muddied boots stained faces bruised hands as they formed and massed a great strength moving ground and rocks … More THE OTHER SIDE
