Reflect

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensRefrain from interrogating the course of things, this stream of rippling mirror projecting upside down worlds of infinite possibility. It’s familiar, the lines of each direction, the flavor of responsibility, the sweet sting of obligation and resultant pride of accomplishment, yet the free fall beckons, unclear […]

Tool Truth

Shot with a Canon t2i using a 50mm, f1.4 lensThere’s no science or measure to this art, only a simple tool threading together words as woven sentences, the paragraph trapping warmth and burning hours in captive bliss. No hammer strike, rule of measure, sawed pieces or precision of note, but the discordant noise of a […]

No Entry

iPhone 5 shotGo ahead. Blockade with weak words and expect obedience. Your demands are cinnamon, sprinkled carelessly over concrete and steel, a pretty invitation to desecration; a saccharine protest lost in the swirl of hasty decision. You need the unswayed, lusting for the emboldened to chase down your precious bounty, but truth reveals emptiness of […]

Poor Puff

It bled blue stars among fragments of strewn mica, the waste of nostalgic longing and memories bound to forgettable things. It didn’t matter, the shatter of glass a hope released from holding. For a moment it seems wise: unleash dragons from their watery graves and douse worlds in fresh fire. Cleanse and cauterize this diseased […]

Endings

iPhone 5 shotFires rip through the final act of our drama, charcoal teeth gnashing and flaming tongues tasting each quiet hope nestled in these soft bellies.

Lips brush cool delicacy and draw forth the heat of passion, an awakening of liquid limbs made stiff with ardor. Drink from this. Wet lips and smile, undone. […]

Belong and Dream

iPhone 5 shotCaught in the glow of afternoon’s final gifts, she instructs his eager lesson, and I sit apart from their moment, in awe of the connection shared to the day, the minute, the learning and one another. Bound by sun, blood, and soul, they smile, eyes shining the same blue and fill an ailing […]

Incorporated

iPhone 5 shotMy days rob the air of beauty. My nights steal passion from practice. Sleep comes as mercy to angry stirrings of escape. Distress darkens every corner of mundane rooms. To fail here pronounces common sentence; neither thief nor liar nor cheat, but jailed just the same. The sun insults as the moon dishonors, […]

False Gifts

iPhone 5 shotThis empty heaven, it dangles beauty and bisects the cancer of a day’s death. A glass of still knifing through wood and diluting radiant gifts, it remains striking while still a copy; alluring while within reach. Sullied by approachability, value sinks as if counterfeit, but remains held aloft by settled hearts, a bounty […]

Swim

iPhone 5 shotBending light as greedy lovers would their bodies in heated union, flashes of electric brilliance glimmer unpredictably. Submerge mind in body in this rapture, soak in every moment of her stinging chill, air rushing from shocked lungs as eyes press shut and ears mute from the world’s hurry. Sensual paradise, breaking to the […]
