Took a while, but pretty much everything is up and running again.
Still have another semester of PA school, so it’ll be a while before I write anything worthwhile.
In the mean time, enjoy the archive.
Sing Like You Think No One’s Listening
It’s been a while.
Summer flares in rebellion to autumn’s swift approach, and children’s days become a little shorter, a little less exciting (except for those who need not be taught).
For a season of death, fall brings such welcome tidings as sunburnt memories ferment like fine champagne.
“For the Lilies”
As I write this you lie sleeping in the room beside me.
A few days from now you’ll be gone once again, and I don’t know what I’ll do.
We always think we have just a little longer, even with the finish line in sight.
And though already you’ve gone, I still linger each time I pass by your door.
I dream as the sun rises because I can choose when to tend,
The furtive plowman digs deep, sowing victory into dead ends.
And as I plan another dozen summers sipping wine with dear friends,
Somewhere, pulsing deep, the heartache still mends.
The Sight of Bridges and Balloons Makes Calm Canaries Irritable
The world is always changing.
People care so deeply during the seconds problems ride the airwaves.
And yet, for the observant, it becomes a question of whether people can care at all beyond what they’re told.
No matter where you are: in your mind, your feet, your heart, your stomach–don’t forget about the flowers.
They bloom for you.
Act one for Emarosa is done.
Taking a break for the summer to work on music and enjoy such needed daddy-daughter time.
Enjoy your summer. Kiss someone you love. Embrace someone you don’t.
“The Prolepsis of Ink & Grumble”
Trees sway in the distance.
Or at least they’re distant, it seems.
Towering above, or have we fallen too low, to be shrouded by so many leaves.
Ink, the ebon imp, grumbles at his misfortune.
For anything that’s not so clearly opportune must be cursed.
Then again, for an imp, it’s hard not to be.
Clouds lord over their sky, stealing away the beauty of stars we were promised.
It’s as if fate colludes to garner the rights on felicity.
Fortunately for us, there had been her.
Anesidora alone remembers when her name was just a name.
Along with the smell of rich cedar wood early in the morning as the man she called her father braided her hair.
The world’s greatest anathema was someone’s daughter, too.
The crashing of the waves before nightfall signals of the end of days (or at least today).
An onyx blanket lies itself over the sleeping beach.
And not a soul will ever know; the tide washes it all away.
A fat, runty orc stuffs its face with the foulest of greases it can find.
People are runnin’ and screamin’ like they’ve lost their minds.
The gettin’ is good when the gettin’ is good.
The fragrance on the breeze curdles, becoming something unworthy of expressing scent.
Things that were clear turn opaque, like trying to spell with an alphabet of 37 tar-mucked letters.
And then they were there: the imp, the fabulist, the orc.
Whether it’s the beginning of the world or the end,
To a mayfly it’s all the same.
Hardships will come and hardships will go, but our loves and stories shall remain.
