…If someone turned on the lights
In this starless pitch-black dream?
Maybe the falling tree in the near-barren wood
But no one will hear you scream…

Prescription for Crow’s Disease
Oh, doctor, I’ve identified
The source of the pain
It has a name
Same as my last name
But no, I’m not to blame
And doctor, what do you prescribe?
Can’t take more of this pain
Need a prescription …
A prescription
Help bring me back to sane…

Thank you Chaucer!
I like playing cards…the face cards, the histories, the stories and the styles.
…Then, I place imagination on my palate
All it took was just one taste
The T Uncrossed
Prelude to the chapter The Birth of Evil, Sanity’s Battle Lost in the novel, Through the Kindness of Ravens
…Across a barren field
A scarecrow draped upon crucifix
A crow-cifix…
From Through the Kindness of Ravens
Bones and marrow
Straight and narrow
Caws if you don't, boy
No tomorrow
- The ghost of Albert Cornelius Whipp

I wrote Sentry For A Century a long time ago, about 15 rings ago, and have always liked the story in it. I hope my writing did it justice.

…Be you to full
Be me to fall
I’ll fall for you
Perfectly imperfect
Beautifully flawed
Be you to full
Beautiful
And I will love you

The symmetry of succulents
Their patterning of thorns
The spray and spread of prairie grass
Reaching for the stars
The placement of the petals
So precisely form the rose
I give to you on the dance floor…
In my room upstairs in the house I grew up, I could lie in my bed and look out the open windows and over the backyard. I stared out at nothing, but saw everything.
As I lay on my bed
Eyes level to the windows
Eyes level to the storm
A flash over the backyard
The power of the lightning
Hear the roar of the thunder
Over the cries
Of the Flash Flood alarm….
