• 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
    that feels almost intentional.

    On this day,
    time folds like a sheet of paper
    creased too many t…Read More

  • Apache Moon

    As I spread out my bedroll
    atop the high mesa,
    the aroma of pine and pinon
    surround the air
    and sear the rabbit
    roasting over the open flame.

    As I settle into the bedroll,
    and looking skyward, I
    am greeted by the infinity
    of glittering stars,
    and the rising Apache Moon.

    As the legend goes,
    if you make a true…Read More

  • City Peace

    The wind howls through my window

    The fire truck siren blares down the street

    The neighbor’s heated argument is in stereo sound

    The dogs whine in a pitch that rivals nails on chalk boards

    Yet I cannot sleep without the city’s peace.

    • 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🌹

  • Orbit of His Smile

    It curves like a secret folding into itself,

    quiet, knowing, a soft spark

    that catches the edges of my chest

    and pulls me closer.

    A quick inhale

    a flash of light between shadows

    and I am lost again in the orbit of his smile.

    Tides of unspoken things rise from calm’s ruins

    and I am lost a…Read More

  • Roack-a-bye, Baby

    I know no other way
    the weight of his absence presses
    aching…waiting…
    begging for his return
    as nights close in
    shadow draping me in yearning
    the remembrance nearly blistering
    moments of fierce and desperate
    thundering of twin beats
    throb piercing me
    and I cannot…will not…forget
    saturation a constant
    as…Read More
