About Me

He knew he would say it. But could he believe it again?
He thought of the innocent mornings on bourbon street, of the sunny courtyard and the iron lion's head on the door.
He thought of the quality light could not be expected to have again after rain.
The pigeons and drunkards coming together from under the same stone arches, to move again in the sun's faint mumble of benediction with faint surprise.
He thought of the tall iron horseman before the cabildo, tipping his hat so gallantly toward old wharves, the mist of the river beginning to climb about him.
He thought of the rotten-sweet odor the old quarter had, so much like a warning of what he would have to learn.
He thought of belief and the gradual loss of belief and the piecing together of something like it again.
But, oh, how his blood almost turned in color when once, in response to a sudden call from a window, he stopped on a curbstone and first thought,
Love. Love. Love.
"Every day is a good day. There are just those that are better."

A very, very short femme fatale story.

She had the face of a Greek goddess. It's not a compliment. If you ever truly look at the face of a statue of Aphrodite or Athena, their faces are more fierce than beautiful. The power that they emit ...

Where hunger gets you - a pulp fiction (part one)

It wasn't the hunger that did it. Neither was it the late-night snacks that shortly ensued. I don't know the exact reason, but it must have been something extremely important. Her leaving early and fr...

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind but my own love is much too dangerous. Hanging around the ceiling half the time... Compared to some I've been around but I really...

An old one that I like:The cigarette burns stand out on his creamy skin, and the blue of his eyes. So blue you want to dive in, as if you're diving into the clear blue ocean. The sand softly brushing ...
