Siphon

In the sand again I feel it shifting. The weight of one idea over another. An outcome like a burnt tree still standing in its ash encrusted husk. A line of people sit on a pier and wait for dusk when it is obvious which side we all belong to. I don’t want you to […]

Reasons

I pick up the cup and watch through its clearness as the liquid moves along the rotating glass. I pour it out over the grass watering its roots with the cheapest stuff the grocery store sells to people like me. People with more debt than money, and more knowledge than sense to apply it. I […]

Allocated Audio

She was haunted by a song that she could barely hear bouncing off the back wall of her memory. Something latched on when it played for her, but she couldn’t remember when or where she heard it. She scoured all the record stores and every backlog mp3 there was for download. Sometimes there would be […]

Supervision

She put in video tapes that skip at every ten minute increment. She didn’t know magnetic tape could skip. The video was of a woman without clothes on in a swimming pool. It seemed like it was decades in the past. She had to make the minutes last because her parents would be returning from […]

A Spire Built With Many Eyes

She drove an ice pick through the camera above her computer screen, and the forces looking in on her were taken on a ride through the color coded space of misread light. They wouldn’t see another night of her alone where she was unsuspecting, and the screen that lights up everything reflects what she has […]

Venue

It begins in pseudo Californian meditation that is greatly helped by unmet expectations. The dressing room is messy even if it’s all in order and the scene is set so perfect for the weekend. You will see the halls, so packed they are a colony of equivocating life. The light is dim so nothing can […]

Outlines

She’s like a glimpse of a rare sky on your way back from somewhere shitty and in a moment she’s rewritten your whole day. The power lines run over us humming through the quiet, and it is silent down the street where we could see. The drum kit in a passing basement was held back […]

Exchange

The sirens fog the yelling and the paper bags get all caught up in furious escapes between the automatic doors. The entrance way is chaos and the clouds are moving so fast it is like they are the film in the projector. They both know about the secrets and are waiting with their arms crossed […]

Burn Enough

A couple lived above the bar, but she was far off lost in distant sights. When they fought there would be dust that fell from the ceiling and sometimes even the lights would flicker slightly. She would wear her night gown in front of all the patrons to make him jealous as a consolation prize. […]

Pillars

A man and woman forage for food in a forest meant for bigger things. The colossal trees like pillars for the sky. Reaching into knot holes they pull squirrels out that they slam against the rocks. He carved her a squirrel out of wood as symbol of her infinite ferocity. The vines around them brushed […]
