poems

a certain middle of the valley
a handful of aces
airborne elegy
arc
at the end of an our on the subway
a world without you
averse to verse
bang out your words, carpenter-poet
below
circuous
David
delible
depth of field
en'tracte
the fence
fleeting
frost on the rooftops
holding on
hub
the idea
i didn't kick your project
down the hall
impression
in better times
infinite bandwidth
inside of outside
luminous kate
lurker & shimmer
magnum opus
metronome
misdirection
mobius trip
mud-beast (sonnet)
muse, i listen
new unclear war
ode to certainty
on the overabundance of information
panther
quiet place
retreat
resonance

silence
sleight of hand

steppingstones
surrogates

the language of you | pdf

the life in this day
the song of invisible birds
the journal of the equidistant past
thinker twister wonderer wanderer
this silence

were
whale watching
what shall i name the new circus giraffe?
whiteouts
womb valley
writer's craft - T-9 minutes

stories

Into the Wind

On yellow and blue summer days, Paul's father took Paul across green hills to a meadow void of trees, overhead lines or buildings. He would peer into the sky and stand quietly, the large box held under his arm.

Full Moon in Leo

About the elasticity of our lives... travel north with Jack.

Valediction

"Eileen was determined to turn her back on it all.  Before leaving, she needed to take a last look around the house. She would not have the power to look back when she walked out the front door."

A Clump of Woops

"I have never met a stranger looking man than Mr. Blunder. It was my brother's birthday last Wednesday and I met Mr. Blunder the day before that. My Mom asked me to go to the store to get the ice cream for my brother's birthday party."

The Teleworld

"Hugh winced as the pain pinpricked the back of his eyes.  He wasn't sure what was happening on the Commercial frequencies of his telemind. Images blurred and fused amidst waves of interference; the audio feed slurred and reeled out of synch with the image."

Kate and Louis
