    Kilt by A Rain Barrel

    Last night, sittin' in an outhouse,somewhere near Lake Pontchartrain. On a porta-gullet slip slidin' away,balanced atop the fevered skin.Singin' nocturnes in th' rain,wit' a voice of a licorice bassoon. Th' big wheels kept on turnin'and grandpa thinkin' it a...

    Tuesday:4PM...once upon my midnight dreary as I sat hibernating with a bottle of Jose Cuervo, after tripping over my shadow in a nocturnal dance desecrating my creeping insomnia. An acolyte of the dark academia, until the final page is...

    Monday:2AM

    Monday:2AM In a state of bubo a leaden itch begins where the cacophony ends, dragging its obsidian skin of molten lava against the gravity, as if a metronome ticking through the earth's shoulder plates peeling back the illusion of...

    • Reading this I can feel how much he means to you. As a parent you want to make sure you are doing the right thing and of course we have the memories of the children growing up. But we forget we are the child as well. We have past memories further back of being raised. Hmm this is making me feel more than I thought. Very good writing.

    • Thank you..and yes he means the world to me..but Ive taken time and the cycle of life for granted..wish I had more time..thanks for commenting

    • Oh. The buildup in this. All the details and building blocks of growing up. Cherishing our memories and time.
      Time is the most reliable thing. It is ever present and we tend to push it aside. Put visits off or do a check in occasionally.
      I completely relate to this.
      My mom is 75 and doesn’t get around like she used to. This year i did all the cooking and she still felt the need to
      to be bossy! Even when we were at the grocery store! Hahaha. It’s a mother/daughter thing! Her gift to me is humor. It was always in our household.
      And love, I can feel this in your write. Even the admiration and respect you had for each other.
      This got me a little teary eyed at the end.
      God bless

      • Thank you for your comments..yeah my mom is 75 as well..older people in general have unique personalities..for sure..I try to sometimes picture life through lenses and think they feel life moves way too fast in general..and the speed everyone moves around them..but in their mind they are still young but their physical body tells a different story..I was humored yesterday..Im driving my mom around to handle stuff for my dad’s funeral..I have gps in my car..no matter how many times I said I dont need directions my mom would be like so we are gonna turn right up here or we could go up a little further..it was funny and (slightly maddening) but looking at things through her lens she never had gps or technology to assist with things growing up..and as she would say they did just fine without it..it’s good to have family and share their love and laugh at the moments that are special..thanks again for sharing your cooking and grocery shopping mom story

    • Brilliantly penned, Naaj. Excellent write my friend. Dig the layers in this one it’s a hard hitting powerhouse that’s spitting facts. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      • Big thx for your energy on this vibe, bro.
        Deeply appreciated indeed

        Naaj

    • Oh, I am glad I discovered this (not for all, but for me) and I must ask you this: have you made any audios of your work? this is only the second one of your works I have read, and it begs the be heard. I must say I’m a bit prejudiced in that, being one who comes from that stable, but this really would be even more impressive aloud. Nice work, sir.

      • I haven’t done any audits yet but will be in the near future. Thx for the positive vibes, FD.

        Much respect

        Naaj

        • If you do, let me know; we have a Spoken Word category here now and a lot of us are building a library, of sorts, of diverse works. Check it out; there are some excellent pieces there.
