Night dresses flowing pink, plumes of smoke by the passing train. No reflection hides your true charm lonely as a fog, silent as a dove your ghost would wander obscure by the bridge green and blue overwhelms impressionism of the moonlight over the waters.

Imagine yourself playing the part. The melody in a slow tempo touching the white bones in mine. The blank spaces glide filling the staves into octaves where rhythms of silence are aching to be heard.

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? [...]
