More from the journal

April Snow

Flying through the flakes Dizzy in their multitudes Seeking the mountain Of solace Temperature tango Flipping forty degrees With a swivel & a kick Left road dog Tattoo At the parlor behind Images etched In memory Dreaming cloud signs Pointing to the south Chasing the sun Heading west

Leap

It's not only Leap day, but it's been a month since I've posted to this blog and the last chance to post something before the new month begins.

Ghosts of October

Looks like I completely missed blogging in October. Just to slip something in I'm writing from my phone while on the go. Sometimes life moves too fast to process & write about it all. Often at these times it is stranger than fiction. In the past month I've juggled more jobs than ever to keep [...]
