    Within a Few Stanzas

    Listening to poetry, almost like an affidavit stating I can’t read poetry and I never have, although that’s a highly shortsighted and, frankly, annoying statement to make and what I mean is: all writers have flaws.

    Life of Leisure

    Despite it all, lying on the beach, hand in hand. Sun beating on her face, shirt sticking to her back.

The warmth becomes a husk of bright Varanasi lights that… Continue reading

    Dreamscapes and Architecture

    My dreamscape consists of an upside house and a crumbling apartment complex, boldly allowing me to float between the pillars, avoiding toppling rubble because it’s my dream, and in my dream I’m able to dodge whatever I want to – that is, until I’m forced to shift to the next dreamscape, being crushed by a… Continue reading
