Three-Letter Folk
We have absolutely no idea how our world will change Despite those who have wild hairs of how to rearrange Someone may push a button, start the last of our wars Perhaps we finally see the dream of having flying cars What of the three-letter agencies hidden in plain sight Who tell us they are […]
Serial Tuesday ~ Toliver
Chapter Fourteen Toliver climbed into the low branches of the tree with the densest foliage. He planned to wait out the day, watch and learn from his hiding place. Initially, he wedged himself into position, with his feet on a branch and his back pressed into the trunk. He still feared he would be found […]
Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Fourteen Charoo proved an awful place, cool, green and brown with a pale blue sky. She missed the reds and blues, Arcadia’s lovely turquoise sky. Eni adjusted the scarf over the lower half of her face. She’d done it first to mask the odd smells that greeted her when she left the ship. […]

Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter 12 Continued “C’mere, you bitch,” North breathed in her face. She turned her head away to escape his look and his foul breath. “You’re coming with me.” Stavo surged to his feet, his heart in his throat. Luus snatched her hand free and spit in his eye. “No, I’m not,” she said. “Why don’t…” […]
Silently Across the Night
Moving silently across the night-dark earth Fires burn ever Fluttering banners, gold and red, to mark the dead Ever brighter Blood-red projected on shifting smoke Ever hotter An ever-changing, tattered screen, white, gray, black, overlaid scarlet Consuming all No animal, no insect, no blade of grass remains For eyes to see Glimpses of crazed conflict […]
Carpe Hora
They know they are outnumbered ninety-nine to one We, the larger number, say that nothing can be done Is it something in the water, or perhaps in our food Whatever it proves to be, it must be something good Good, for them, at least, but not for all the rest of us And, I will […]
