The Infinite Repetition of a Pink‑Clad Madman
April 14th does not progress.
It repeats.
And repeats.
And repeats again.It is the day caught in its own echo,
a looped corridor of hours
that refuse to move forward,
a calendar glitch

Tides of unspoken things rise from calm’s ruins
and I am lost a…Read More

The country may have its crickets, its coyotes’ howl, but this cannot match the window rattling as the EL train passes by. It’s funny how night sounds become familiar so that you can sleep. It took me a few weeks o be able to get to sleep after I moved from NYC back to PA and a more rural setting. -Curt
