Spig

A short story. There’s this six string picker With a case at his side His boots are laced up tight And his hair is down to there — A blend between Genius and mean A big dark pack Sits square upon his back Saddled through straps Drawn by obscurity He…

A Kid Reaching Into a Cookie Jar

Bob Dylan — “Lay, Lady, Lay.” You know how. Lines of reading Nonsense feelings Minds reeling Stealing glances Borrowed time Don’t feel solid When I call you mine Leaves of fall Leave me questioning The changes and Flows of time Flippant disregard For the good gone — Days spent Warmth…
