The Faded Garden Swing If the flaked paint on the old swing could speak, it would tell stories of days long ago, Of children's laughter and their bare, muddy feet, Of fireflies caught and imprisoned in empty jam jars, Like the fireflies, my memory flickers, trying to recall who lived across the street. The faded swing’s rusty chains...

Bug Collector
Brush off your ant bites. Blind eye the hornets sting. Gone so long with ways of violence. Creatures having done nothing wrong. But it’s fine “they aren’t important”. Legs or wings or hair you just can’t bare. Squash and flush because no voice. If it spoke would you still fear? Darling child with bugs in jars, May your care linger on and on my...

Jars Iii: Fractured Symmetry
A jar full of oblique imagery and jagged thorns. A jar full of black ROOKS fractured symmetry torn pages from books. A jar full of rusted nails bleeding the secret blood Sacred and profane, souls haunting the halls of hell, sliding down rusted hooks. The coming of the primordial flood the liquid of life the washing of strife... A jar full...

Of Windows and Jars
Loving you feels like trying to keep unattainable things locked up, kisses on jars, touches saved on empty containers for later, your laughter described in detail on hundreds of pieces of paper. Or the look in your eyes in golden picture frames on my walls. It feels like chasing the wind, breathing you in, and when I breath you out you...
