the short short story

Words have a certain beauty about them. It doesn't take a three-hundred page novel or sixty stanza poem to convey that beauty. Using no more than a paragraph, one can conjure the same power as a book, and require the reader to use just as much, if not more, imagination.

This is not a new literary genre but it is relatively unknown. Most of these are original short short stories. Those that are not are credited otherwise. When I think of new ones I write them.

I've included a lot of poetry and songwriting as well, especially recently. I hope you enjoy it all.

we (a song)

we
we will swim
in the lights
of the freeway at night
and the reds
those'll be our blood
as we flow
through each other's veins
and the whites
those'll be our eyes
as we look
into each other's light
and the glow
that'll be our soul
as we swim
in each other's sea

 we
we will swim
in the lights
of the city at night
and the reds
those'll be our heat
as we grow
in each other's flesh
and the whites
those'll be our thoughts
as we swim
in each other's mind
and the glow
that'll be our soul
as we sink
into each other's soul
and we float
above ourselves
and we float
above ourselves
and we float
above ourselves
