Words stack up like logos showing a secret prisoner pulling at each thought until it drags heavy. Hiding hands across my back so no one sees what I have to give or want to take shielding my desire. Living out of not living but justifying. Wondering why someone once wanted an accounting telling me not … Continue reading Denial: Cassandra Kulay

Warriors for Peace: Robert St. Germain
Let's start building bridges instead of dropping bombs. Why not some kindness? Would that be so wrong? Let us stop throwing punches, and let's start shaking hands.

Liquorice sticks and peppermints; bars … Continue reading Halloween Night: Gerald Herron
