The sunset was vibrant today. Moreso than yesterday and the day before. Maybe even more than tomorrow. She wondered what beast would emerge from today’s actions. She often wondered how to differentiate between possibility and probability. What was to come was anyone’s guess. But her eyes were drooping. […]
Quiet Nothing Nothingness Emptiness Words devoid of meaning The beeping just chirps The chirps just echo Buzz and buzzing Ears are crackling The fire quickly burning Yet there’s only silence Or do, it should be
For the past two weeks or so, people have been randomly setting off firecrackers in their neighborhoods. Sometimes the firecrackers go off for hours on end. When I lived in Los Angeles, people put on full fireworks display that could rival the Macy’s fireworks show. I was stunned […]
