Pineapple “Take this” grunted my mother as she unceremoniously threw a pineapple down into my arms. The supermarket was busy for the holiday season, and the shopping cart was already bursting. This year we were having the holiday feast at my house, and my mother’s family was gigantic. This load would cost us nearly all of what we had left, but my mother was a proud woman. Though she only worked part time at the convenience store, we would take this in stride. The thought of asking for a bit of help had never crossed her mind. As we bustled on through the crowd, she piled up cans, fruit, and anything else we couPineapple


Summer TendenciesThe birds were chirping. I could feel it, even if the walls kept out the noise and the shades kept out the light. It was summer, and perpetual sleep was better than boredom. I threw the blankets around in mock distress, and pulled myself out of bed as fast as if it was a tar pit. Such mornings were rough, when I had no motivation to get up. Back when school was struggling to a halt I'd daydreamed about things like this. I'd dreamed about the freedom my parents would grant me and what I'd do with it.

Hush, hush poppet Let's look what you've become. Your eyes are cold and empty, I feel you've come undone. Little one, why do I sense A cold and wicked frost? Perhaps the icing on a grave, Of memories dead and lost. And yet behind those sullen eyes, I see there's something more. A child who sits and swings her legs upon the river's shore. Relax my dear, unclench your fist, Don't b

HelenHelen stands cloaked by silky cool black. Mother's nightly velvet, washed across her back. Standing softly naked waits, for the silence to allow. Clouds lift in smoky tendrils, let the moonlight grace her brow.Helen
Helen stands strong, soles firmly pressed upon stone. Rocks bathed in starlight, chill her to the bone. Curled night breezes caressing light across bare skin. Tempt and beckon, awakening recklessness and sin.
