An explanation, of sorts, if you will.
Dearest, darlingest, lovely players:
I seem to have mastered a dance between being ever-present and forever disappearing. I skirt that unreliable borderline between having the potential to be a good castmate/CR and being utterly befuddling and frustrating. Most of you know the reasons for my ephemeral presence in Luceti with both of my poor ( Read more... ) -
A year of apologies to make.
Dear friends of mine:
I’m not the most religious person in the world, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see the merit in some of what makes my foundation. For those of you who have no idea what exactly it is I affiliate myself with-more by cultural standards and personal connection than anything deeply spiritual-it shouldn’t really matter. Though for ( Read more... ) -

“I heard a Fly buzz-when I died-” -Emily Dickinson
Strewn belongings left
to the apartment:
rent long overdue, rude black-on-white
‘EVICTION’
stapled to the door.
He-the King-
could not be witnessed in a room
no longer mine.
Not that I expected Him to visit.

Will You--
You
shovel a horde
of lemonheads between
your tongue-slick lips,
squeak and resist the urge
to spit them out.
I
choke, for
the feeling in my gut
is the pull at your cheeks
and the burning, acidic singe
of your tastebuds.

Pentel R.S.V.P. Medium Black
Reaching for the instrument
long cast aside, he grumbles.
He longs in haste
to displace his sighs
into substance,
papered verbosity. He loops
his eyes and marvels
in being tongue-tied,

flesh, while reaching,

He pulled butterflies by their wings
from her back as she grappled
with finding fingerholds
in the trees they shared.
A stumbling buzz--blue winged--
skirted the air between
her rising cries and the undulation
that was his windowpane.
Their toes were curved

And they rocked, to tipped and--
like the moonscaped tide--
pulled and ( Read more... ) -
Release
I sink into streaks of rust
and scum, lock my sagging door
and smirk. I cringe
at the seething tiles that hold
my feet and green fur
that adorns the toilet.
Yet, in this surrounding filth,
I jut my lip out
[I want
this too badly]
and bite down,
hard.
Reach into my pocket, pluck
the small, two-tone paper
tube from its cardboard house.
