It’s quiet here at the galaxy’s core. I don’t suppose the stars would stop moving even if we asked them to. I have considered doing so. Night after night we bathe in ever-moving light, some of it from the sun we abandoned so many birthdays ago surely it must have extinguished by now. If you [...]
(Dedicated to my wife Michele…) It is good to be here with you, in this utterly corrupt and beautiful place. The touch of your hand reminds me we are links in a chain forged in blood and love, corrupted by god, or whoever does his marketing. The greatest gift I got this past Christmas day [...]
I was recently digging through some old papers in my basement, and found a couple of poetry journals that published my work back in 1989.
