A weekend down South,
and editing the novel,
In between drinking,
horses on television,
my resolve sorely tested.

The light of the morning cast its curse on my face as the bedroom door slowly opened. I knew I would die in bed, but I never expected that it would be like this. There is no justice in the underworld of the undead.

The disturbing part of learning to cast the candle spell was the bit where your hand turned into wax. Some of the class had real difficulty making their fingers return to some semblance of normality.

on hiatus in hospital

My doesn't do much
Just sits there
Chewing her tongue

Sneers when I enter the room
Claps when I leave
Slung over the couch like a dead coat
Watching TV and clearing her throat
Like a sloth in a cage
Rolling her eyes and filling my page

My muse doesn't do much

Pink, orange, and bluish hues
Set best behind natural views
Through mountainous forests, it is suffused
Beach-goers flock, endlessly amused
Painters try to replicate, enthused
I've even seen it framed in nice tattoos
The sunset is a daily, timeless

For the longest time I couldn’t paint
Then I met a woman who I grew to love very dearly
She was the mother/sister/aunt I always needed
At the base of at least six of my paintings is the sacred muse
Love is

Words ascribe
Best not trap them
Be stingy & hide
Or brainwash
Words are seeds meant to carry
Upon winds of projection
Taking root in lives
Sadly some still slice scars
Yet whitewashed history
Erases Vanishing Voices Of Tribes
Colonialism Creates Invisibility

The Perfect Storm©️

Sometimes what's meant to break you
can actually make you! For “Yah” can
curate the perfect storm—walk on waters of a wicked in the perfect form then heal & make you feel from & fear that aim to smear.✍🏽#vss365

“Your résumé states you’re

“Yes sir, absolutely. Well, actually, I’m a practicing I just haven’t taken the certification test.”

“Are you sure? See, is quite specific.”

“I need a break. I haven’t worked in 40 years.”

Gold darkness undresses
The season of the soul,
Hiding in the remnants
Of all hallows eve~
Unfettered, eclectic,
Vitriolic, unwhole,
Oleander petals, flaxen to tease~
Bewared in Octobers
Juxtaposition of old,
And the caliginous sleep..
That wakes your unease,

It feels familiar,
Unequivocally pretty,
This diaphanous moonfall
Serenade,
Bewitching me
With its owl darkness
And curvaceous ether~
Giving me
This evening's dance
To see through the midnight lens
Of wonderment..
And stay a little while,
