Out my office window- two police cars lights flashing, sirens off black tarp, solid form still body-shaped, but still. Out my office window- a flat patch of land where a home once stood no shadow, fresh dirt, I cant remember it, exactly. Outside my office window- a big semi truck from the deconstruction site that […]
The moment is… a kiss and not a word, a what and not a why, you without your Story, unscripted. The moment is the drop of water on your tongue as you dive to the sea- you in the ocean, the ocean in you; is a flash rainstorm percussing off a dozen rooftops- straining your […]
At the event when I couldn’t help but stand up and talk too much, I opened myself up to judgment in order to speak the burning necessity that was bubbling up my throat, determined to be shared. Taking my seat for the forth or fifth last time, a woman two rows back lifted her head and her […]

New York is a special machine for fixing traffic lights, making its way down 7th Ave. New York is two homeless people cuddling between a […]
Some days I wake up to the alarm- groggy and irritated, I crack my mind open just enough to unsheath the eraser end of my consciousness, gruffly scrub out one or two or three of the items on the to-do list that my optimistic prior self had assigned, and press “snooze.” Some days I wake up restored- […]
