I have been decidedly absent from all things Flickr and photography.

 

My day job is that of an English teacher, and the best part of my school day is my two class periods of creative writing. What an awesome bunch of kids!

 

As I have tried to do with my students in the past, we are in the process of publishing a collection of short stories. This year, because they did such an outstanding job on them, my students are publishing a set of horror stories.

 

And let me tell you, there were a couple that even creeped me out!

 

I'm spending the weekend doing the final edit and putting together the front and back covers, and I'm hoping that I'll have it up for purchase by Monday morning.

 

The kids are so excited. I am so excited for them!!

I live the present, but can’t leave the past

One foot is planted here, the other far

Away, in the deep mud, in a contrast

Of stillness versus movement, quite bizarre.

 

I feel myself extended in a line

Of omissions and thoughts, of truth and lies,

Two ropes – or more – entangled in a twine:

The future is a pattern we surmise.

 

I am confused, because my day and night

Are my worst enemies, footsteps quiet and frail

Adorned with necklaces made of light

And made again each morning, weak and pale.

 

I listen to hard music, but with a tender soul

A living contradiction, I want nothing and all.

On hearses of steel we rattle along

Tearing through towns, slaughter’s our song

We’re blistering torches, we piss on the graves

We shatter the tombstones, glistening with rage

Oh will that one day we find rest in the ground

Rocks and earth atop bones—no sound

Scatter the salt lest we grow into trees

And haunt all that’s sacred with billowing pleas

Around our bodies, in a thin white line,

Beauty is exotic, different, in display.

Pinpricks and thrills cascading down our spine

Stroking our mouth with softest finger’s play

 

(We watch - and still we cannot closely stare

While we wait for the tide to mount and foam)

In search for beauty that is here, somewhere,

We let our gaze fall down, our eyes to roam

 

As we pretend to look. And we forget

The way to breathe - our mouth a taut white frown -

Our life all in our eyes, as we regret

Our graceless shape, predicting a breakdown.

 

The whiteness of the line (you see, it’s only chalk)

Is erased by our fingers turning forward the clock.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
