New Bloggity Bits!

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.
