Shimmying Notes on Astral Undercurrents

Below you'll see some of my latest story excerpts & poems. ATLANTIS was typed out early this morning, and because its her birthday today, I dedicate it to my dear friend Melissa Wright. Mirrordrowning was conceived and executed by fingertips across the face of a plastic keyboard not that long ago really, springing forth from my rapidly calculating mind. The history of legend just went up in April. Halo of Stones went up an incremental segment of time before that. Below that one, more random writings of mine. Keep scrolling. Welcome to a remote corner of my Blogdom of Thorns.

Have you ever felt as if you have been placed alongside a row of copies? That you are just a navel gazing reflection?
Try not to get the feeling that you as a duplicate yourself are not the right selection. That sensation is just a misdirection. It's okay; turns out there is no right and wrong after all. That's the basis of our rational anthem. Feel free to fall in and stay, or explore the various hidden hyperlinks you may stumble upon throughout this cyber-vicinity. Then begone upon your wildest trip. Don't let the mouse clicks you left behind allow you to slip.

The tangential is an ideal device 
for circumscribing the known universe 
because to draw a circle one may begin 
at any point.  In the case of our cosmos 
we may end up with something which 
resembles a cross webbing of crown 
but the principle remains the same
a spiraling of circles in perpetuity 
spirographically carving out 
a heliodimensional gyroscopic 
area through which it passes 
leaving behind the trace dying 
embers of its astral ghost 
to linger longer for us to look at
because when we step outside  
at night and stare out at the stars
we are gazing directly at death
