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…
new circle of light.
ways you beam facing the sun.
how i spin and…
up, down, the colours of your

rattle my tree.
watching your reds turn violet,
violets turn gold.
through my telescope
you shine brighter…
blending with surroundings
… just fitting in.

After some serious cutting and pasting and three hours of life that I’ll never get back… I had about 50,000 words in front of me. Continue reading…

I’ve gotten two rejection letters in the past week after submitting a micro-fiction piece and some poetry. Continue reading…

Today I am going to the beach. I will not be staring into space until my body pours poetry nor will I be finalizing script pages. Continue reading…

I think one of my problems with putting together some sort of anthology is that whenever I reach the time slot allocated to ‘organizing’ writing… I get distracted and start writing poems for some reason. Continue reading…

The other night I mentioned on Twitter that I was going to write a story about a staircase and a balmy night. Then I got distracted and wrote some book.

In any event, every evening where I presently reside is balmy at the moment. It’s quite lovely when the sun goes down.

Here is how recent PM hours inspired my poetry… Continue reading…

My South American sister Consuelo and I had a Valentine’s Day picnic in the park yesterday. There’s a lot of debate over V-Day. As usual, I see both sides. I don’t really want a lover giving me colored cardboard out of capitalist force – but a day dedicated to making out is fine by me. Continue reading…

Some of you might recall me complaining about Australian singers the Veronicas and Delta Goodrem back in December. The only thing I loathe more than advertising are supposable ‘celebrities’ trying to sell me shit. And bloody Delta takes the cake. Continue reading…
