Night, the mystery, the closed eyes of day where shadows appear larger and forbidding. Lonely dogs send howls of sadness into cold air. Cats prowl on silver paws. Street lights make an attempt to provide safety. Corner clubs become revived with music. There is a chorus of moving tires and workers on buses. Voices round … More FACE OF NIGHT
The desert curls itself up flat at night an uncaring carnage of sand and spiders day’s heat retreats into silence, leaving a numbing damp cold cactus stand guard over barren and nothing snakes slither into holes and under useless rocks scavenger animals prowl without much to show it’s lifeless … More STAY AWAY
A dusky silk rain dampened warm humid air as a pale green yellow sky yielded to a pressing night a choir nearby rises through an open window singing under the wings of angels Church candles weep during long prayers the flickering light slips over calm waters where a hypnotic intermittent sound of frogs … More OVER THE WATER
The moon dissolved over treetops. This area is remote and wild. A black night sky sheds its stars from a dark canopy. Dreams and wishes hold hands with the desperate. Eyes open the heart for a path without obstacles. This feels like the top of the world. A place owned by few. You can … More LIMITED OFFER
Dusk crushes into night. The infinity feud between two mighty forces colliding within the silence of millennial shadows. There is no youth about them or age slowing their pace. They are constant, claiming common territory to the custody of their charge; never speaking, they own the respect. Within the realm of universes there … More ANCIENT
Rain with feeling sounded on my head, running through my hair, dripping with random lines onto my face, like tears without reason, they course onto my shirt. The ground glistens, painted clean, each object baptized with water; the opening sound of wind builds like an orchestra warming for night. The sky soon reopens with … More A MOMENT ALONE
I have a legend with the road. A connection with dust from parking lots and narrow alleys. I know something about flat tires and vacant store fronts where change and loss hold onto empty. Faraway places never consider these places. A suffering evening sky labors at placing stars into night. Mountain shadows, appearing like sleeping … More ANOTHER PLACE
The in-between of dusk and night releases half shadows. Clouds hurry to corners. The last breeze twists a single sheet on a clothesline. A voice familiar to back doors slips into a cracked plaster hallway. Billboards advertise last year’s circus. Resilient pillars of weeds claim an abandoned lot. A dog with strong eyes challenges the … More CAREFUL STEPS
Separate hands. Divided tracks expressing the battle within. Musical fingers, the dance of a tapping theory. Deep roots of song flush to the surface; a dilation is then quick to expand. Drums beating out thoughts pause then continue, marking paths to an immediate change; the impertinence of youth is an undeniable salve. Dancers … More OPENING NIGHT
It was a dull circle of sleep. A separation where day folds into slumbered haze. Mumbled half words tumble out. An occasional roar breaks the silence. It’s a time between lucid and insanity. Emptiness and heroism. A storm of thoughts strike the base of heaven; the soul envies the catacombs of control. Hours appear … More HALF WAY
