  • Dreaming!

    I’ve been having extremely vivid, narrative dreams lately.  Two nights ago they were long, long horrific ones, where I would wake up sweating, and then imagine how to make them scarier.  I do not know why, but I managed to concoct some extremely scary and epic nightmares.  Last night was different; in the morning I […]

  • My Date With the City!

    This Wednesday, January 28th, is the year anniversary of me moving to New York.  I will go to a nice restaurant in Manhattan, order an appetizer, two entrees, drinks, and a delicious dessert we will share.  I will, over the candle-lit tablecloth, tell the city how pleasant her glimmer is at night, how wonderful it […]

  • Feverdreams I’ve Had Lately

    Here is the beginning to the novel I attempted to write a year ago, last November.

  • dialogues about motion and memory

    1.it’s moving at extremely fast speeds, i guess.
    that’s it.
    the fullest realization of this-
    the most terrifying moment i can think of is when you’re in an airplane that’s landing, the part right after the wheels hit the runway, when they turn on the brakes … but you can feel the plane’s monstrous inertia, feel that if […]

  • I Wrote A Poem About Tacos

    All I can think about is tacos lately.
    as if
    juice and spicy summer evenings spilling from
    was not
    as if
    seared
    as if
    teeth through the crisp memory of warm sun between vegetables and
    the long legs of a south american sojourn
    spread
    across peppers, your tongue the memory of a drunken salsa
    sweat, sweet, beaded across sun-cooked skin, a smile against white teeth
    the wind […]
