• (mostly) radical honesty

  May 2, 2024

  Somewhere between here and DFW International, sometime around 2 a.m., we’re traveling down the interstate.  I’m cursing myself for forgetting my glasses because, for miles, we’re stuck behind this tow truck with huge, backward-facing, orange-strobing lights. They seem like overkill, out of balanc...

  March 19, 2024

  The table next to my recliner is literally overflowing with books - several volumes of poetry, two nonfiction reads about comedy, Eugenides and Pynchon*, and various books about symbolism. The pile has become unwieldy. I’m about halfway through half of them, and desperately need to finish and she...

  I’ve been thinking about lines lately. A couple of weeks ago he told me a story about a woman, something truly abhorrent that I won’t repeat here. We both mourned her, this stranger, who suffered some of the worst things imaginable. In return, I told him about a friend living overseas. She is str...

Regardless of the hour, the slice of sky I can see never fully darkens but instead remains ...

  Climax never fully materializing, headache blooming at the back of my skull, and the distinct feeling that I was unwell without any idea as to why. Unsettled and in pain. He was initially apologetic but also soon asleep. Left once again, alone with my thoughts - all the things that sneak up at 3 ...

  The brain, which existed almost completely devoid of creativity throughout November and December, is now in recovery mode. The first week or two of this always feels a bit manic - a flood of ideas and desires that need guidance and pruning. All of it is a means of feeling more truly like myself; ...

• 2023 Music

  January 6, 2024

  Early last year I challenged myself to seek out more new music, both from new-to-me artists as well as from artists I already know. The songs and albums listed are in no particular order. I will say that my three favorite albums this 2023 were Feeble Little Horse – Girl with Fish, Angelo De Augus...
