A body filled withAmber waterExplodes in golden burstsOf endless movement. The blood of dead leaves,Their decay oozingFrom cavernous shadowsIn the black depths.It seeps into skin and And lives, grows,Under a surface of flesh. Sculptures of meat and boneFlirt with the creature’s dark edges.They are as powerful as Flower petalsSwept onto the surfaceBy an uncaring [...]
A soft fluttering of delicate wingstentatively emerge from the infinity of the paper.Like those of a moth, quiveringinto the domain of the deck lampand dissolving, again,into the darkness.Always the insufferable default.

Tuesday, May 8th 2018 Central Park in the Spring The cherry blossom trees were blooming. The sidewalks were littered with their fragile, light pink petals. The occasional lazy breeze would play with a few of these, bringing the sweet, flowery aroma to me, reminding me why I love spring so much. The setting sun gave [...]
April 14th, 2018 For the last couple of days, I've been seeing signs of spring everywhere. The air smells differently, like hope and new beginnings; like flowers, trees, and sunshine. It feels as if the winter depression is lifting up from my shoulders, and I feel happier. I think its pretty impressive how much the weather [...]
