Standing one step inside, there was a tree on her left, its bark patterned in tiny diamonds, its leaves coming together to form the shape of a […]
I remember someone who doesn’t exist. Many someones’ really, but one in particular. I wanted to see her, so I went to the place where she last was, thinking she’d still be there. I stepped into the past, literally if I might add, and she met me there. For a few hours, she let me […]
A rainbow landed at my door Did it find what it was looking for? A hand to be held by Eyes to ignite Skin to color A heart with which to take flight Someone different at least in some sense from those around who don’t understand all rainbows just want a friend. […]
Poem I know the place where magic comes from and how to see it time to time but I don’t know how to describe it though I don’t want this power to be just mine I know I see, I know I feel but the words they kind of disappear because magic cannot […]
The wind blows and rocks the house. It rocks the horse and tilts the mouse. It wraps itself around the door and seals it shut from visitors. The flowers inside are now safe while those outside get blown away. The night arrives and stays for days until the wind dies down and quiet reigns. A […]
The first song I ever wrote with a guitar, it was my freshman year of college…
Sept 23, 2021 R.Z, When I walked into my room today I noticed my keyboard. It felt silent and I realized it hadn’t sung in weeks… There was only room for one plug in the outlet and it was already occupied by my leaf lamp. It was also night and I was getting ready for […]
On New Year’s Eve Alora paced frantically around her house opening every drawer, checking under every table, glancing behind every chair, looking for a special branch of Hawaiian mistletoe: Hulumoa. She bought it at the end of her trip abroad to surprise Keanu, her partner who was born in Hawaii. They met in Honolulu and […]

Julie Marriyanna smiled as she placed her journal in a bright green waterproof bag; It was the last essential item on her packing list, everything else was already in a suitcase by the door. Celebrating the last of her preparation, Julie lifted her arms in victory. She stepped into a spin and let go of […]
Wednesday, June 10th 2020 Good morning Armadillo : ) It is day 2 of my adventures waking up before sunrise. Today, I set an alarm to 4:50am. I think I’m a bit late getting out of bed at 5:10 however, that is a trick of the mind. I am only late based on my wishes […]
a chorus of crickets plays beneath my feet the end of summer air surrounds like a never ending warm embrace slow steps unknowingly guide toward one illuminated spot there, silver and winding an unnamed work of art until I give it a name: Monsieur swan I stand in her presence dazed, open, defenses relaxed Am […]
through each tiptoed step, green grass lightly tickles. Phone left behind, I wander freely. In the dark the lamp by 3N illuminates Monsieur Swan: silver and squiggly, an unnamed work of art, until I gave it a name. I touch Monsieur Swan’s nose, surrounding me and her, is a wall blocking chaos out from beyond, […]
If you need to escape from the chaos of the moment, here is a short story: It is dark outside and the moon is just beginning to rise. You place a blanket in a field of grass, smooth out the edges, then lay down. A faint breeze blows through your hair and rustles the grass […]
to make time machines appear but, I can’t control it. They disguise themselves in many shapes and sizes, sounds and smells luckily, no one else can use them because I’ve misplaced a few. They bring me to the past without warning or notice and since time is ever-moving I come back […]
