Yellow Line

July 24, 2009

Ellen inhaled the stainless aesthetic, then slowly exhaling, savored the anticipation washing over her. The vendor folded back the stainless doors releasing the sacred aroma into a cloud of rising steam, and smiled. Taking the cue Ellen stepped forward to place her order, “two please,” she said smiling back at the vendor. Silver tongs plunged [...]

There Was A Knock At The Door

July 22, 2009

Startled minds ramp into flaring comatose consciousness, jump starting sight, adjusting hearing, grabbing the one next to you, shaking her, wake up wake up something’s happening here. There was a knock at the door, a knock at the door, there was a knock at the door. Emotions spinning me into torrid thoughts, whirlpooling down a [...]

Infused Purple

July 17, 2009

Oatmeal tasted of summer, fresh warm flavorful milk tinged infused purple, floating blueberries. Thick blue platters slid across pink speckled Formica counter one after another, waitress never looking, repetition in motion, “here ya go sis,” and words. Silently I watched the brunette poke the steak using a knife in her left hand, a knife weathered [...]

Blue Liquid

July 14, 2009

Went blue liquid, thinking about you, flowed through memories, traversed by you and me. Blue blue, no shade matches my feeling when you’re not here.

Where Am I

July 6, 2009

I looked up from my malfunctioning GPS just as Frampton handed me a bunch of succulent red grapes, then he turned and winked at Pablo who picked up his blue guitar, and started painting the walls a deep egg shell. “Do you know where I am” I asked in a voice that was not mine. [...]

Floor Dust

July 6, 2009

Simon sat gazing out the window, the gray sky outside reflected deeply within, revealing no difference between out there and inside himself. Seemingly the color penetrated him in one long pendulum wave. From him to there and back again the gray traveled, becoming intense for a moment then easing, but the ease was shallow, he [...]

Hearty Burgundy

June 25, 2009

I wretched with aplomb, spewing my guts out upon newly mowed lawn, mixing toxic with the summer smells grass and blossoms give up. More then cheap burgundy spewed forth as I leaned on the quiet elm for support, anxiety attached to shattered dreams convulsed desperately, joining the wine exiting my body. Again and again my [...]

Dreaming Flash Fiction

June 20, 2009

I was hiding high up in a tree earlier this afternoon when this huge gust of wind sent me tumbling to the ground. I woke to finding myself in a purple building surrounded by discount books for sale, and feeling no worse for the tumble I got up and perused through the books, stacked to [...]

Early Summer Breeze

June 17, 2009

She touched me, the early summer breeze, wafting across my bare shoulders, cupping my ruddy cheeks with her gentle fingers. She touched me, the early summer breeze, coming from sunshine to shadow, from outside to inside till she wrapped me in her memories. Her touch was silence, filling me with grace and gratitude, filling me [...]
