He said 'This place needs a leather bar.' And we just laughed...a true line from my past. It's weird how death will sometimes remind you of a person you used to be. Really strange. Some of this stuff I haven't thought about in 20 years.

Another lucky day.

The nails- I call them Dystopian Crossword. Green nail stickers, crossword puzzle answer sheet, press with a paper towel damp with rubbing alcohol, let dry, high performance nail gloss. The gloss makes the ink runny.

Window

Give me
gods that give
order.

Give me want
without shame
from
your hunger!

But leave
a voice
to touch me in the dark.

Long
in the sun,
little
changing shadow.

The window
shapes dusk
and
little love.
