Summary:
Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read from my recently published books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k5NY8ZMx3I My books, Seedy Town Blues and It's Just a Hop, Skip, and Jump to the Madhouse, are available on Amazon.com

Tonight, I lie in bed and
scribble in a black spiral
notebook.
Why is cruelty easy for
some? Like lying down
a card.

One of my three cats,
Mojo
sits sleepily on
my old maple desk.
She is all black.
The computer screen is
black.
So are the speakers,
microphone,
and a coffee cup that
sits on the desk.

Above my dresser is a
quote by Hemingway.

“There is nothing to writing.
All you have to do is sit down
at a typewriter and bleed.”

It’s on black paper.

I’ve had the room set up
this way for over a year.
I’m just noticing all the
blackness.
Midnight in Nod.
It could be because I miss
my daughter.  She’s seven.
All the black fades away when
I think about her smile
and those eyes that laugh at the
rain.

I notice that my shirt
is emerald green, with a
few drops of red.

Plop
Plop

Plop.
