Scary 29
Nowadays I only have a slim chance to sleep through the night without waking up once. Usually, this small, scary, gap, in obscurity, unless the moon is high and not surrounded by obese clouds, is propitious to thinking about writing. In my most sober moments of reflection, what scares me most is the prospect of…

My fascinating girl’s eyes 27
Eyes Looking at her green eyes, observing me, with what I take to be amusement, I am thinking: “It’s straightforward, what do you love most, the lock, the key, or the chain? Or, maybe, what do you think is the most touching? The lock because it’s never used, the key because I hold it, or…
