Human
Human
I found myself in a nightmarish place. There were lots of people, if that’s what you can call them. Some were horribly disfigured. Some seemed to be more demon than human.
These people/demons were cannibals. Eating people they had captured. Some ate them alive ripping them limb from limb. Others preferred them to be killed first and then cooked.
I kept asking, “Why haven’t you eaten me,...

Open Your Eyes
I had been feeling sad and lonely. I decided to go back into the past and visit my childhood home. When I arrived, my sister, mother, and brother were sitting at the kitchen table having a meal. I walked in and said, “Hello.” They welcomed me warmly and asked, “How have you been?”
In a short while my Father joined us and demanded to know, “Why are you here?” I was taken aback and said, “I’m lon...

Altars to the God's Shape Poem
Altars To the Gods
I once
saw an
altar built
to honor a
God. Which
God I do not know.
The day was overcast
and threatened rain. The
years and the elements had
wrecked havoc on this altar. A
mouse scurried across this crumbling
stone. A bird of prey swooped down and
carried away this small creature. A...
