Surface Thoughts

I watch my cat watch the tv, every time a dog comes on the screen, his pupils get big, I wonder what goes through his mind, what must he be thinking, is the time he fell out the window from the second floor playing in his head, what is a cat’s memory, does he rememberContinue reading “Surface Thoughts”

Crisp in the Air

It’s been fall for two days and I can already feel the crisp in the air. It makes the hair on my arms stand up. I breathe in deep breaths to take as much as this magic in as I can. This is my favorite time of year because it’s gone in a blink ofContinue reading “Crisp in the Air”

Autumn Leaves in Later Summer

It’s only when you jump, will you know you will fly farther than you’ll fall.  Continue reading “Before You Fly”

Toothache

Lower left side of my mouth, right if I’m staring into a mirror.   It’s all in my head, it only aches when I’m out of ideas.   When I’m writing, reading, watching tv, or eating, there’s no pain.   None. As if I’m in a bad dream.   But I’m awake because I canContinue reading “Toothache”
