Cherub Street They say if you go on a Full lit night down to Cherub street, Past the sundown There is a woman with Rotted pettycoats And arms so thin the Veins are bulging worms, who Carries a bell jar she uses To trap moonlight. They say If you ask her how It tastes she will … Continue reading Cherub Street- A Poem

Fragments – April 2018

April 21, 2018April 21, 2018 ~ nothisispat ~ Leave a comment

"What is there to confess that's worthwhile or useful? What has happened to us has happened to everyone or only to us; if to everyone, then it's no novelty, and if only to us, then it won't be understood.

The Smoke Over Turisall The old man laid on a bed of furs. Minks, bears, otters, and squirrels were all stitched together into a massive wrap, cocooning his frail body like a sickly butterfly. He clenched a long, ancient pipe between his teeth. It would have been worth something once, finely crafted with minute engravings … Continue reading The Smoke Over Turisall – A Story

Escanciador – A Poem

March 21, 2018March 21, 2018 ~ nothisispat ~ Leave a comment

Escanciador  I love to the taste of an apple core Hard and full of seeds like teeth An inconvenient poison of time Hardly digestible Stuck in throats Willing to grow once poured away Properly and with care Gone with the demands of tradition I bubble in silt
