It’s like a white plate. Soiled and you try to wash it afloat with suds of soap and rinse repeatedly at the sink. Letting it dry and wait until the film of water subsides down into its gleamy surface. You try to contain the glister. The immaculateness of being unbroken, unsplintered. Fragile. It’s like [...]

This man’s bohemian and the weird symphonies- the whining of fan blades; the sharp screams of children vibrating on the window pane; and the crackling sound of my bones tired of standing up, shuffling back and forth turning to see the bed tempting me to lay down, get lazy and do nothing. And the [...]

He stares at the frosted window, dreaming of pigeons in flight. Probing shadows in his oblivion while the neighborhood is asleep on this night bathed in blue light. His heart refuses to surrender to someone else’s handwriting. He’s an outsider, perhaps a victim. No one knows how he spent hours imagining a beautiful [...]

Here, in the box are things that you left me. It’s been years I kept them hidden under my bed. Should I throw it away? A burden that I should burn it aflame with the world like this tongue of hatred growing each day. Oh sadness, it lingers through days like rain. I [...]

The sanctum smelled of incense and human sweat. An airless space reverberating whispers of prayer. She folded a piece of cloth with the holy verse dipped in animal blood. This is an amulet. For someone who is afraid of thieves. She knelt across the table ready with her questions “Do you need a husband? [...]

Don’t upset the mainstream, he’d say. Art for art’s sake, I think out loud. Unless I end up whoring at the art house with rusted springs at cushioned seat poking scooped up gossips. Eavesdropping some private lives. I let his copulation of idea with tried and tested formula stink like the stench of [...]
