Upon the completion of time, the architect looked upon its work and with a perfect eye noticed a gap. The gap could not have been visible to a corporeal being, but from the perspective of timeless existence it flowed from the moment of an angel’s betrayal outward as a fissure…

Smear
I wouldn’t change a thing about you. It would change the skipping of the record and labotomize us both…then we could share an IV bottle together, honey nectar for veinous rivers. Path forward, through the universes, chopping with my fingers through the literal weeds. You’re a sunlit green and black…
Eden Before the Fall Series
The Stone
Among the many rain-like drops falling from Eve as she emerged from the pool, a single drop, a little larger than the others, caught Adam’s eye. He studied it in the instant that it existed, a life in the eyes of God, he imagined. A Truth came to him cloaked…

Bring on the Cycling Dawn
Tragedy, joy and all manner of experience befall the individual in the night, for what occurs under the purview of the moon can seldom be explained entire in the plain sight of the sun. Is the night stronger? Maybe the night isn’t stronger as much as we are weaker…

Glimpse
Don’t you just hate it when every time you go out to eat near the building where your ex works, you think you are going to see her, but you never do? The only thing you can do every time you enter the outdoor seating area is quickly scan everyone’s…

The Attic
What do you do when a pretty girl asks you to write a poem about her? You lumber back upstairs, jingle the keys in your pocket and find the skeleton key that was sticking down out of the hole in your pocket. You crack open the shackle that’s yoked your…

Tree Haiku
Invisible wind Solid trunk standing upright Bending green fingers Twisting mixing air Sheets pull, push, carry promise Tree slows bringing calm Branches reaching out River of light flows past clouds Leaves drink in the sun

Crowdsourcing
I love the term “crowdsourcing”. In a nutshell, it involves giving a problem to an undefined group of people to solve, similar to outsourcing but specifically to an undefined group rather than a specialized party or team. Companies can do this on the web in order to create solutions to…

A Day in the Life
Recently, the town I live in held a small photo contest on facebook. They asked local photographers to shoot “A Day in the Life of Evanston”. I thought this could be a good idea if people participated. So I put the date into my calendar and set myself up to…

Amazing Women
LOOKING NOT FINDING Looking online for someone to date is like shopping for a car. Too old, too young, wrong color, wrong features, looks like high-maintenance hotness, looks perfect but the seller won’t contact me back, etc. The good thing about shopping online for someone to date is when…

The flame
The boy looked upon the candle as it continued to melt the flame slowly dying. He held it as if he were holding small child or an injured bird.

Girl from the pond – a short story
There I stood looking upon the pond. And before me arose a mist from the shimmering surface like gold leaf on an Egyptian statue. Across the mist there arose a gentle bird whose wings spread across the water and sent ripples across the pond. The fish rose up to meet…

Online Dating Girl
An open poem to the online dating girl You are showered by messages From every perverted minnow Nibbling at your fingers Like sperm at the shell Of an unperturbed egg. I imagine your ten sets of eyes Gazing my way across a library Or bar Or quad Or hiking trip…

What I Can Do
If you are too weak to walk, I’ll lift you on my shoulders. If you are too tired to laugh, I’ll sing you to sleep. If you are scared of your nightmares, I’ll conquor your demons. If you are hungry for contact, I’ll fill you with love. If your shoulders…

Sexahol
High school was a strange time of pre-internet sexlessness and adults warning me endlessly in varying filmstrips and interrupted lesson plans of the dangers of “Peer Pressure”. Peer Pressure (PP), I capitalize both letters intentionally, was something as strange and mysterious as any drug but with the added danger of…
