MOST RECENT:
#30
Sunken accessories & maternal knuckles
"Be it an extra plate on the table or a shared plot in the earth, in the end, it is my grandmother who adapts ... But as I armor myself in their adornments, there are certain loops I hope to break."
#29
CULINARY CASUALTIES & APOCALYPTIC DITTIES
A song for a hellscape timeline without so much as a half-sip of beer or a Hershey kiss.
#28
Dream Teams & First-Rate Nightmares
I often feel like the pet my mind keeps. Aware it goes to work, but not understanding where, only away. Hopeful it may return with treats. Sometimes, the treats still have bones in them.
#27
UNPUBLISHED MONTHS & MINI MERCIES
It is the season of the blanket ... mind the precise order four blankets must be layered. It is an actual Technicolor Dreamcoat. Childhood’s Kevlar against the dark.
#26
RELIABLE WORLDS & GREATER SPADES
When you create worlds that weren’t there before, they aren’t discovered overnight. But, if you’re good at it … if it becomes a reliable world … word eventually gets out.
#25
EDITED LETTERS & UNDISCLOSED TOTALS
Like those Oxford scholars who sought the earliest known occurrence of a word, I found something buried in an old handwritten summer letter.
#24
MOON UNITS & COMPLETIST CARTOGRAPHY
Do we dare be vagabonds once more?
Adapted from a Sept. 2004 tour journal entry about my first year on the road. An homage to Ernie Pyle's "Vagabondage."
