Excerpt from RedWingBlack in Day-to-Day
I’m a masochist. I walked a thin line along the barrel of a magnum, staring down a tiny magnifying sight that looked like a flashlight shining reflected blue eyes against my face. I deflect...
infection of the heart in Day-to-Day
cliiiiche! An eclectic collection of Merengue Mexican music and BT is rocking my ears as I clean my apartment. I have so much to do, I absolutely have to stop and write. Isn't that how this silly...
horror and beauty in Day-to-Day
Are not opposites. Are not separate. Some of us have beauty so wide, so deep, the horror hides beneath. Some of us are filled with such horror, the beauty strikes the rest of us with such exactin...
He told me he wore another man's face. in Day-to-Day
Two coworkers were robbed last night at gunpoint. If I had stuck around for five minutes, it would have been three. In fact, the suspicion is going around that the moment I left marked when the r...
Dumbstuck in Writing, Books, Excerpts
Her fingers were soft and incriminating, delicate and exacting. They marked lines in dust--I could swear she painted--between old, emptied wine bottles and closed books. I could read her palm for...
Mushroom Clouds in Hand... in Day-to-Day

She left a trail of the bleeding stones, those chalky things with the blood-red fungus, pebbles like molten eggs smoothed by some river long dry, she left them face-up and stark against the green...
Le Don in Day-to-Day
"May God provide," said Don Quixote, "as I wish and as you, Sancho, need; and he who thinks himself a wretch can stay a wretch." May God provide as I wish. I only read two pages from that tome t...
Disruption in Day-to-Day
http://youtu.be/CGsQUMtq1dQ The day's being a little rough. I woke up angry. More sad than angry, I guess, the bleedover of yesterday's conversation with Bethany has left me a little drained. Li...
Triangles are my favorite shapes... in Day-to-Day
...three points, where two lines meet. Hello, morning. Today I dream of war. I wanted to begin this entry with--I love to talk to women as if they're men. Then I stop. No, that's not what I mea...
