I let the date whisper through me
like slow bullets each year
I refuse to count
will not say it’s been howevermany years now

for time does not touch this one

I think it’s your turn now
I can’t keep it up trying to be alright
in this havoc
so if you could just this once

try to be alive again

I write mostly short stories, the kind I long for but can rarely find. Some have been published here and there in journals, literary presses, anthologies. Also, and this is where I get rich, a new website called litbit.ca
