Hello fine feathered fowl and fishy friends!
I have transposed my online presence to DREAMSPINDLE. Find poetry, essays, short stories, and other such stuff there.
My personal blog can be found at BREATHS & IMPRESSIONS. (I know, what a pretentious title, right? It's vainglorious.) Find--hopefully--insightful reflections upon my day-to-day life there. I know it sounds boring but I'll post some recpies and pictures of food! That's worth it, right?
Thank you for stumbling upon this little niche. I hope you've enjoyed your stay and I hope to see you in my other homes.
Good day!

City Streets at Night
Laid slick with the
stink of liquor-licked stomachs,
sallow streets
lie steeped in stony sepia,
Belly-up to
blazing bursts: fluorescent
cigarettes prick
yellow the sickly night sky.
Lank against my last
dregs of architecture, I
shuck bright
eyes till aged whites fill my husk.
As the carnal
colonies crawl my slim stems, I
steep my buds in
fairy dust, lace my leaves with snow.
Dark stark
pupils, gutted and stuffed, seek skyward
stars where lewd
gas lanterns sputter and burn.
