Wriggle (2015)

On these worms,I’ve written the entirety of the English language. Please arrange them into sentences. I don’t care that they keep wriggling away.Do it anyway. Also, please use only this fan.Do not touch the worms.They do not like it. Now, tell me how you feel,no,with the worms.Only the worms.

Winter Mornings (2014)

Snow ain’t quite thick yet,still got some time for the last of them chores,get those leaves up before they ruin the lawn.Grab them final few sticks from that wind-storm.         I’m a bit jealous of them that can pull a room together,        a little green of that aesthetic eye.        I got these …

woodland drag (2015)

i miss it,that whisper wind flippingthem pine needles and oaken boughs,carrying with it the mud slick scent           of sparkling creeks,           tinkling through night air.that moist cool air sucked nose-ward with each drag,and the curled billows of smoke mixed breath-steam.

Smile like too-green-days, ‘n smell like spring-in-bloom. She was …

When I Go to Meet Moses (First Published in The Altar Collective Volume III) (2014)

“what dreams may come”/“Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come” in my dreams–    I am time ravaged ‘n sore,    reeking of vice ‘n long past leathered.    hand laid rest on the brow of some blue-eyed husky.    scrawlin’ out madness in diction.        anything to drown out the snow-fall silence of the night.   …
