in his hands

Show Him Every Star

For the first time, I cradle him

he is dense and warm like a loaf of freshly baked bread

The smell of life

waiting

to take shape

envelops me in a puff

coral wind

as planets curl and twist

on the horizon

I show him where the soil turns

and softens in the rain

so that beauty may bloom

He too

was once a bud

waiting to come forth

in the tender light of June

A Very Blustery Day

a glorious gust

of bellowing wind

swept me up

and blew me round

through honey-colored

dew and lace

above the tame and hollow town

the thrill of flight

was full

but brief

for dust that travels

with the breeze

must always settle in the ground

in cracking bricks

of dismal peace

The Nerd Guru: Zombies & Primal Instincts Blurb

Zombie Fiction is escapism that allows someone to become something more primal. Ironically though, I am not speaking of the zombies. It creates an environment of peril where murder is not only condoned, it is necessary. You are allowed to release your primal nature upon your fellow species without fear of moral or ethical judgement. Essentially, you are allowing the casual bystander to be a killing machine. No longer are they restrained by their sedentary lifestyles, now they are free to become survivors because, deep down, everyone thinks they can be badass if given the opportunity.
