Fearing Santana
I published another short story on Kobo. It’s free as well. I like that you can put stuff on Kobo and keep it free as long as you like. But, I think Kindle’s formatting is a lot more forgiving. I guess I’ll keep messing with it and see if I can get it to come out a little better.

The Dead Along the River Speak to Me
I put this up on Kobo books last night. I decided to try Kobo instead of Kindle this time. And I can keep it up there fro free for as long as I want. Check it if you get a chance. Sample poem below the link.

The Dead Along the River
There are no bodies
in the ground.
Japanese cemeteries
contain only headstones.
On the gentle sweep
of the river bank Kami wander.
Small pink flowers fight
through frozen dirt.
A sudden explosion of color
amongst the black mud.
This afternoon snow
will cover all.

Humidity and Mild Depression
Humidity and Mild Depression
Clouds like concrete entomb
this city in cancerous smog.
Milky skies face milky sidewalks.
A death step futility march
carries them
to the relentless morning grind
and pulverizes
the salaried meat onto trains and subways.
Japan’s season of the furnace roasts
the unacclimated and un-air conditioned.
My angry annoyance walks in step with
the rising Celsius.
Today I am the King of the Blackest Moods.
