Superb contrast between the innocent vulnerable hapless victim and the absinthe and the thieving whore. God, you’re on fire, Thomas.

Like Jenny from Forest Gump; perhaps she can be reformed. LOL.
Your prose is spot on. The descriptive elements set a shadowy stage, highlights are found in the wording.

Hahaha, it happens, but it’s not just street girls that rob those pockets. Do you know the greater manipulators and thieves some times sleep in our beds. The descriptions within your pieces are as always tight

All you wanted was to write. The repetition of that statement lends itself to the idea of an escape hatch from something. And Jenny wanting a room, also an escape hatch. And that damn bottle of absinthe turned it all inside out. Loved the spider reference. Come into my web…

He was giving Eddie his moment to shine. Rick was already established. Ode fact: Rick James and Neil Young were in a band together called the Mynah Birds. Circa: 1964 to 1967. They did not release an album though.

Always searching for an opportunity to catch a photo of the old man on the mountain. My camera is never ready! He is quicker than he looks.
Intricate phonetics both personal and universal. Top notch word play, both fierce & peaceful. Much respect for this wilderness of word!

A beautiful blend of wit and wisdom, wrapped in a lilting montage of smooth vocals and kick-ass music for the heart, mind and soul. Wicked stuff, and I say, if you’ve got it, flout it, baby, flout it!
