I don't want to be dead
My 1979 Chevy pickup has me driving into Bozeman with its downtown spruced up, all bright and cheerful for the holidays. It’s cold outside. I’ve been battling a cold for three days, to make matters worse. Savor this time of the year, people say. They’re convinced there’s something special about it.

Existential Honesty (but dumb it down please)
Late Night Shower Thoughts The thing I really want to talk about is body, mind, and soul. That is to say, our internal world, our external world, and whatever the fuck a soul is. Is it okay to curse? I hope it is. I think this piece is for any adult who's been going through a rough time for a long time. It's a bit abstract and does include a few mentions of sexual assault, violence, and substance abuse.

His Little Lady
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Traces of plum and raisin, periwinkle, and grape all wove together a similar mysticism to the Aurora borealis. The constellations paneled earth's dreamscape like a baby swaddled in a blanket, and in awe of the sky’s beauty, eternity yielded to anything folded behind its corners. Wonder hung in the atmosphere just enough to keep the street lights on and accompany the silence of the night. For some, this love dance of the cosmos nurtured them to sleep, while for others, their secrets, tempted by the moon's curiosity, climbed out of their graves looking for trouble. For those who’ve needed it, the night's lore would awaken in them a catharsis of things not yet talked about, those things that demand one's attention but lose their remembrance in the frivolities of the day. Seated at a vanity the sun is gracious enough to reflect beauty to the eyes but the moon and her drawers, containers of uninvited white lies and horror stories, chastise the security of it all. It was under the myriad colors of nightfall, in the realm of dreams and disillusionment that the prodding of truth began to unfold.
