Where can I taste and smell
The winter cold oozing
Rolling off my tongue like
Licorice candy melting
On my lips like nonpareils
Dripping on my shirt like
That mug with a crack
Leaking hot chocolate
Hot like a fire of dried colored
Leaves at the height of the
Fall I fall you fall
But we do not fall together
Like crackling sizzling splintering
Bubbling steaming logs in a red
Glazed hearth all surrounded by
Wet leaves and cold branches and
Slippery trees and the
Rust-stained swing set that
Slides through the air as it
Swings in the wind and
Creaks and creaks and creaking
It throws off a shadow
I see in the light of
The flames that are shadows too
Shadows of a force that
Murmurs below it and blows
Off steam in red and orange and
Yellow like leaves as they
Leave the trees weightlessly
Tumbling and falling
Mere silhouettes showing us
Too the howling wind all
Around us and everywhere
Hiding in the shadow
Of sound a mere shadow too
Like us two shadows
Tumbling and wrestling
And falling but not
Falling together just
Forming two neat little piles
Of red leaves raked
Clean and apart and left there
To mold on the ground in the
Yard where the fall fires burn

We got a sneak peek at Wayde Compton's new book this morning! The Outer Harbour Stories comes out in October.
For those who don't know Wayde, in addition to being an accomplished author, he's the director of our creative writing programs, including The Writer's Studio and The Southbank Writer's Program.
Congratulations, Wayde!
This is something I wrote a long time ago. It is based on an idea that I had back in High School in the mid/late 1980s. It was initially only one short paragraph about the sand. I gave it to my British English teacher and after mulling it over for a minute she said, "the repetition works, you should develop this into something more." Somewhere around a week later, the piece of paper I wrote it on went missing. The possibilities were: I just lost it somewhere, someone liked it and stole it, or my father found it and burned it in the woodstove, dismissing it as stupidity. In any case I always kept the idea in my head.
At the time I wrote this I was at work, I finished for the day and punched out and returned to my desk. There was no one else there, i.e., I was alone, perfect conditions to go to my "dark place" and write. I purposely didn't put any paragraph breaks so it would be easy to lose your place to help you identify with the character. This took about six hours. You need to read the whole thing to get the twist at the end. For those of you who do manage to read the whole thing, thank-you and congratulations for having a superior attention span. lol

A page of a play I wrote during the summer of 1971, just after I'd graduated from Davidson College. The characters were obsessed with contractions and elliptical language.
I like the idea behind "closet dramas", which are dramas designed to be read, rather than performed. The problem is, I ran into know-it-alls in college who performed them anyway. My goal was to write a closet drama no one could perform--so the way words were written or spelled became crucial to understanding the play.
The drama opens with two couples discussing contractions, ellipses, and alternate ways of spelling simple words--"we'll" for "we will", for instance, and "colour" for "color". One of my characters got carried away early, though, and started to laugh by first saying "haw-haw", then "ha-ha", "a-a", " - ", and, finally, " ", much to the amusement of the others. But he went too far, eventually contracting himself out of existence altogether.
The play gets better. It had to. Yeah, it was pretty dopey, but lots of fun. I wrote it in about 10 minutes. Thirty years later I found it at my mom's house in a drawer.
When I went to visit Maggie in November 2005 she asked me if I still had a copy of the play. I couldn't believe that after three decades she'd still remembered it vividly. When I visited her again in early December 2005, I gave her as a gift my only remaining copy, along with "Zoo Story", a poem I'd written that same summer for Lost In The Alone.

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

If you can read my dreams, better be dumb
For what I dreamt tonight is for my eyes
Only to see. Applying the rule of thumb
And noting your dark face at the sunrise
You saw it all. It’s difficult to tell
If you just took my dreams as an alarm
Or if you sensed a shade, a foreign smell,
A different wavelength touching my arm.
At night we lie, and side by side we lay
In our sleep, growing our private shell
Of breath and thoughts, shattered by the day
A crystal egg that breaks at the first bell.
We walked in the deep water: you lose balance and fell,
Helpless I saw you sinking, losing your precious shell.

I don’t want to muse on, and so I walk
Humming myself a rhythm, while I sing,
Trying to ignore the thoughts still to unlock
Of days to go beyond winter, until spring.
The ground is icy, slippery and unsteady
But fantastic to look at, lying down:
The tiny crystals show the plants already
Blooming with small white flowers, to outgrown.
The hoarfrost’s dust that drizzled down at night
Is going away and melting with the dawn
All is now moist what was studded of white
Like crystals sleeping, in a time foregone.
Beauty is ephemeral, the high sun will destroy it:
The night - draping it all - will soften and permit.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

It’s not a pain, but still it hurts so much
My mind is trembling and something breaks again
Inside of me. It’s sore and raw to touch
My eyes and ears and limbs: they are the pain.
I could not feel, and now I pay for that.
Growing’s a dirty word, but grow I must.
I was the only player in this bet
I won and lose, and what I have is dust.
Mingled with tears, the dust becomes a clay
Pleasant to walk in, but hurtful to my feet.
I try to come out clean, but everyday
It climbs up to my ankles another bit.
Feeling it for the first time, sorrow can be delight.
But when it is a habit, it doesn’t kiss: it bites.
