La Notte

Read "La Notte" reviewed by Wayne Wolfson


You left. I am going back.Sundown, the darkness will allow us to think of what we have done.The dimmed windows of stores. Heaven offered up through the motionless shadows of luxury. The dimmed windows, the dead smile of an enemy. My sweetheart's stare. Luxury ill afforded. I am ...

Edge of Blue

Edge of Blue For Andrea Parkins A bored audience. I hate them, I need them. Not even pulling Holly on stage for an impromptu reunion stirs them from their indifference. Ah, I hate begging you, murder the night, please don't let me see it. Dispose of the ...

Her Ocean

Read "Her Ocean" reviewed by Wayne Wolfson

I Want To Be Bad

Read "I Want To Be Bad" reviewed by Wayne Wolfson
