Sublime Déshabillé

And in her sublime déshabillé, the soft pillow of her body bathed in light while her head swam in the dunce cap’s darkness ravaged by dancing merciless fire and choking smoke.

Mora

A moroi is a type of vampire or ghost in Romanian folklore—the origins of the word are unknown but may have come from the old Slavonic word, mora, meaning nightmare.

Môniyâw

There were some uncanny, serendipitous circumstances surrounding this piece both while I was working on it and after….things that a younger version of myself would call coincidence, a word I have since mostly parted ways with.

Body of a Flower: Luna Moth

“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity, and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”

Dreams of Battle and Death

PTSD officially became a mental health diagnosis in 1980. The history of what is now known as PTSD often references combat history since much of the initial research on the condition was done with vets returning home from war.

Behold the Body of the Moon

And I’ll lick my wounds with the glow of the full moon and remind you that if your ship doesn’t come in, you’ll have to row out to meet it.

Body of a Flower: Spiderwasp

I’m here to gulp the sunsets down with my starving eyes, to dance carelessly in the falling rain, to saturate my lungs with the sweet golden air, to feel the wet grass under my running feet. I’m here to condole with the spurned insects and press my lips into your lips and give some animals needing one a home.

Retribution

How often do you think about the ones who have hurt you? It’s something we have in common, you and me. A big something. We are the hurt and the hurting. The hurt and the hurters.

Body of a Flower: Robber Fly

If I told you this bare gentleman was from a photo taken in 1860 would you believe it?

And how are we feeling about naked men these days? What’s the consensus?

The Parisian and tattoos

I don’t think I waited long past my 18th birthday when I got my first tattoo. And I was so eager I didn’t even care what it was. I remember going to the shop and picking something off their wall. And it was a small mediocre fairy I got on my lower stomach.

Body of a Flower

You wanted me to fly. You wanted the honey and the flower. I wanted forever.
