Into the whirring gears of the night To be cut along the seams Filleted and scattered As a red mass of fear – Under swaying searchlights I am the sum of my scars My nicked aspirations Drumming to their silence – Strangers circle above For a morsel of the shame To be savored…

Hello, friends. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. (If you live outside the United States, I hope you’re having a wonderful Morning, afternoon or evening.) I’m writing this to let you all know that the first book of poems I’ve ever published, ‘The Slums of Nightfall’ is on sale for 99 cents.…

On this old and moldering ship Storm waters swell, Bottomless and dark Blotting out its gilded blaze – A winter night’s fury Sends us under in splinters As the full moon’s hunger Claws through the fatal breach – Among the broken driftwood Demons struggle to float Filled with yesterday’s gold Sinking deeper…
