One day we will look back to those daysIced tea in our hands;something to cool our veins as our blood races home.One day we will look back,nothing in our palms but webbed lines that point home,but home is empty and the chickens didn’t come home to roost,the hearth is cold and the ashes were blownContinue reading “The Myth of Time”

Rain For The Wicked
I don’t ask much of the universeDon’t pour libations,nor face the eastern sun,or the western wind-in salutation .

Phoenix
Stick me in fire,there are visions I wish to see.How flesh melts,and bone turns to black then grey.
