The 5:35 to Nowhere

I make sure to get on five train cars from the back It’s far enough in that most people don’t walk that far Either too lazy to walk or rushing to get on Guaranteeing that I get a seat all too myself In the back corner away from the entrance Next to the window The […]

Chapter 1

He sits at the table by himself holding a glass of soda. It’s mostly water at this point the ice having mostly melted. All the people he came with have long gone out to the dance floor. Despite his best efforts he cannot understand the point of it. Music so loud you can’t hear anything. […]

First day of the week and the longest day of all. I will need some comfy clothes. An old cartoon t-shirt, denim shorts with a bow on the waist, and tennis shoes. My hairs goes on two buns. My make up is simple but with a red lips tick looks way much better. I take […]

An Evening Spring Storm

The air is thick A heavy silence A deep darkness The full moon is hidden behind blankets of clouds In the distance A small light From the second floor of a house Belonging to a man Who has drowned in his work Infinite nothingness Then Suddenly Off in the distance A flash A jagged line […]

The Waves

Lienzo

He tomado un pincel después de tanto tiempo. Perdí el gusto por la pintura, por el arte. Hoy lo peor de mi me a vuelto la esperanza en la imaginación.

Hope
