and/or back to AUSTRALIA…

Considering that I’ve officially been back in Australia for just over four weeks, adventure time is nigh…

In addition to feeling flat about my script… I’m running out of editing juice. I’ve been staring at the screen a bit too much recently and my eyeballs are rolling out of my head…

Therefore we will be live from Melbourne come Monday! I’m not sure for how long yet… I bought a one way ticket. Could be a few days… could be forever until the next NYC stint…

Only one way to find out!

Armed with laptop, ink, and suitcase… take off is Monday morning.

Here’s a piece from the collection I’m presently editing…

empirical empathy

kaleidoscope care combines
rainbows of how i love you.
uneven shapes change with every…

I spent yesterday in New York City. It was my last city stomp during this particular trip. Continue reading…

Today was a busy day! My family days are numbered… in less than two weeks it is back to my oversized island somewhere in a far away world…

This morning I went ice fishing, thank goodness no one caught anything! Continue reading…

Last night I had to get out of the house. The more I think about how long I’ve been locked away with nothing but time and words… the more I’m amazed that I haven’t gone insane… and I still haven’t completely abandoned that theory. Continue reading…

I woke up this morning and seriously didn’t feel like writing a poem. However, I’m one of those people that tries to get anything I don’t feel like doing out of the way first thing… before daily distractions start to intervene. Continue reading…
