    Breath of Shattered Psalms

    Each night, I step into the charred embrace of the firepits, where embers twist like tongues ...of prophets, lost to time—a seething choir of voices wailing hymns no saint could name. The blueprint for salvation burns at the edges, its...

    Dark Remains

    The last note fades… the soul is gone, bells toll low in hollowed air windows weep with frost’s embrace with a ghostly thread, "Get back to where you belong." With pale fingers tracing a lifeless face, lost in a...

    • I liked this, Damian.

    • Oh, so totally resonates. I don’t know where I would be without my proverbial pen. And I spent far too many years perched in neutral…only to discover there is no such thing. Either your ass is leaning in one direction or your nose is. I prefer staying informed & walking the path that suits me. Shadows & all. And i find like souls along the way when living authentic. Consider this one on my reading list with emphasis, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I wasn’t in neutral, but my wheels were always spinning. Either wound up in the ditch of life, or lost on an alcohol induced detour. Nowadays I’m living authentic as well, there’s shadows down every path I’ve found. Being aware and informed allows one to read the situation better. Thanks for the list.. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Agreed, there is always more to the story. Appreciate you.

    • That’s beautifully reflective—wisdom framed not as some lofty concept, but as lived experience layered over time. The imagery of seasons and fences evokes quiet contemplation, hesitation, even resilience. That last line? A soft unraveling of illusion. It reads like a quiet reckoning.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on. I believe wisdom is acquired through time and experience. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    Something Holy Always Rotting

    Under the fading twilight, the gecko rises, bones turned to obsidian, thick as thimbles of forgotten haints—their hollow fingers siphon shadows from the cracks in sunbaked clay.Dark spills across the linoleum, slow as sin, makes the soul go hidey-ho,...

    • Wow! This is a darkly, clever write! I liked the line “something holy is always rotting.”
      I don’t totally agree with it but I liked that (I think) it sheds light on the duality of some religious figures. But that is only my take.
      Well done!

    • Thank you. I write strictly fiction…no boohoo.

      • I see. I usually interpret everything I read with what-this-mean like mentality. Hahaha. Anyway. It was a good write. “)

    Asphalt Veins

    The city breathes in flickering tongues, asphalt veins pulsed black with rain,while neon priests in shattered glass chanted hymns to hollow pain.The gutters hum electric psalms, a choir of chrome and rusted chains,each streetlamp bows its fractured head to bless the hunger that...
