      Unraveling

      I watched the thread,slip from my fingers,cold as steel. I couldn’t hold the end,or trace the start. Like a shadow in alleys,following the hunt,its shadow in my chest,too swift to name. I watched the threadthrough the silence. You can only sensewhen nothing stirs. I...

      • Supposedly, if we look deep enough inside ourselves we’re bound to find the answers that haunt us. I for one have never had much luck with that. All I find are more questions and a murky shadow.

      • Powerfully penned, CG. Another excellent write with deep layers, and dark undertones hiding in the shadows my friend. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

      Dust Before the Storm

      The warning didn’t comewith sirens or lights. It came quietly,a shift in the air,a stillness settlinglike dust before a storm. The horses grew restless,pacing the fence line,ears toward somethingI could not yet see. Even the cowslifted their heads,watching the horizonas if it...

      • I have never been in the path of a tornado. But I have been in my share of storms that I should have listened to clear out. Strongly felt piece

      • Animals have that sense about them we don’t. You’ll often see cats and dogs react moments before an earthquake. Great picture and poem here.

      • Powerfully penned, CG. Excellent write with precise imagery my friend. Outstanding visuals as always. Appreciate you.

      • Dear CG,

        This write had me thinking about life’s events. Not just Mother Nature and her wrath but knowing relationships are shifting towards an end but hoping if I ignore it it will pass me by. The under current of kinetic energy throughout the piece is great because it sets an inevitable conclusion that comes despite our hope. Terrific writing. H🌷

      Dark Honey

      Your desireis slow and thick, dark honeydrippingfrom every glance. You trace  my spinewith deliberate sweetness, each touch a question,and a claim. I melt into you, into the warmth you draw out of me,  drop  by  drop.

    • April 9th — The Breakthrough of Impossible Realities

      April 9th does not arrive.
      It erupts.

      It tears a seam in the morning,
      a thin, shimmering wound
      through which light leaks sideways,
      as if the day itself
      has forgotten how to behave.

      This is the day of breakthroughs,
      not the gentle kind,
      not the kind that whisper
      you’re doing fin…Read More
