Random Awesomeness

Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

Random Input Adjustment

that strange unmeasurable time between sleep and somnolence reveals the mind’s echo the day’s dream scaffolding an erector set in motion but nothing clear no diorama here on which to hang the hat no wild vision or twisted story no amorphous scenes blending myth with allegory only the artless image an arbitrarily acquired antecedent to [...]

Purge

a customary interval slips into the next unobserved the transition would be nearly seamless but as this page turns detritus spills out the sides leaving no open space and dashing all hope of a clean getaway a wall slammed into by flesh and blood remains a wall there will be a reckoning there will come [...]

Greave

allow the deepest pain dignity and find its place when misidentified shame masquerading as cleverness takes control of the fear piercing all hearts from behind when grievance guides the unquenchable thirst for justice rumbling like thunder into an indifferent world of transactional hierarchy when all sense and sensibility is inevitably overwhelmed by the brutal cacophony [...]
