I’ve set up almost this list or line-up of graphic novels I’m interested in purchasing and then reading. I keep hearing about The War At Ellsmere by Faith Erin Hicks. Rather, I keep reading things about it or seeing something on SLG Publishing’s website. Somehow I automatically simultaneously became aware of Zombies Calling, Hicks’ first [...]

Child you hurt your parents
When you flew away
Up beyond the atmosphere
Into stars that day
They’re sorry that they yelled at you
They wished that you would stay
Once you swept the window shade
When you flew away
Child you hurt your shuttle
Soaring into sky
Shown flight by a human girl
But not quite how to fly
She skewed the way you looked at [...]

Poem: A Thought

I see each day and you look fine
And I have questions on my mind
I want to ask but I don’t know
The way that things are gonna go
It feels as though this could be it
But it’s like all the same old shit
I missed my chance, the timing’s wrong
You’ve been together for so long
The thought that I [...]

No! This blog will NOT become a haven for spam! Live, damn it! LIVE!
I have written on my left hand, faded now from the washing I have done since lunch, three items, written for the purpose of organizing my thoughts. If I don’t have certain things written down to look at, I end up stopping, [...]
