My stories

Cat's Cradle

Follow the thread of history back along these corridors, contrived turnings, so many corners. We passed this way before. We followed the thread back to where all this once began.

The Snow Falls

The snow falls, closes us all down. We stop and all things come to a slow halting. We stand motionless. The snow falls, hiding our tracks. Turning the world white,
Cherry

Spring Morning

I can see how it will happen on some new spring morning when the day is eager to begin in sharp sunshine and birdsong. The way you rise up, naked and free to taste the sun on the bright air

Mountain Stream

The shallows, clear as sudden understanding. Your bare pink foot hesitates into water, swirling mud clouds eddying upwards like an insignificant world destroyed

Devotions

We would kiss these holy symbols as though they're almost as sacred as the genitals of lovers.
