its pressing in on me
my pantomime box
crushing me
like a trash
compactor
made of clear lucite
but as strong
as a 2am panic attack
that steals my breath away
and makes my skin crawl
with daddy long legs
and chiggers
invisible
to the naked eye
but neon and pulsing
in my mind’s eye

Flash 55 - Tease

Stephen Foster Lake at Mt. Pisgah State Park, Pennsylvania

Excerpt from the opening scene of Married to Death:

The wind off the lake attacked Alena’s black hair, tangling the ends into a long rope down her back. One foot forward and she could sink into nothingness. Peace. No more troubles.

Exhaustion gripped her body. The lake tempted her. She inched closer to its promise of oblivion. Her toes hung in the air.

My Family Is Better Than Your Family

yeah, we know we’re super hot
which doesn’t mean that you are not
our dna has made us comely
handsome, strong, smart and lovely


look at those beauteous faces
with noses in all the right places
eyes deep set
hair dark brunette

you can’t beat our family stock
we understand when you look and gawk

Did you do anything this summer that will keep you smiling through the Winter?

Swimming in the pool with my grandson will keep me warm on the long, dark days.
