Literature

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Love is patient Bombings love is kind Murders It does not envy Threats it does not boast Signs that read “God hates fags” it is not proud What are we doing? It is not rude This isn't what he told us it is not self-seeking He told us to love it is not easily angered To love our fellow man it keeps no record of wrongs No matter who they are Love does not delight in evil No matter what they've done but rejoices with the truth But after all the prayer It always protects After all the study always trusts We still can't remember always hopes The Greatest commandment always perseveres.

The Pumpkin Guard

The street buckles Pale milk lamplight rippling with the invasion It no longer holds its breath; She no longer holds hers Her scream beats the walls Eyes turn on in their silent faces but she laughs uncaring Clouds of intoxication pollute Crisp night air A lamp post moves Tall clown’s stilt-legs splitting out to meet her She stops screaming in response; It stops moving nearer Her neck hinges back Eyes meet dark, unlit pumpkin gateways and she laughs foolishly Sounds are taken away from her with One dull thud The body hovers Limp rag doll lim

The Ballad of Red Riding Hood

Modern Magic

The witch Baba Yaga once baked herself bread out of spiders and liars and red razorwire that was garnished with flowers from the vaults of the dead, and sweetened with lye from a child’s funeral pyre. It was light as the crisp, cracking bones on the fields and as sharp to the taste as the ash-scattered shards that were all that remains of the swords and the shields of the warrior king and his bold bodyguards. In a chicken leg hovel at the edge of a wood the witch Baba Yaga licks the dregs from the spoons that she used to stir soup, spiced and thickened with blood that the dying ones spilt from their widowing wounds. But her

the punch-up

boxing isn't about the brutality it's about the struggle and rising above it. it's about: 10 mile jogs at 5am when the heavens shit on you. it's about: starving to fit the weight limit by a single pound. it's about: taking a beating and still having the guts to stand up and take more. yeah, it probably sounds like a testosterone fest to you but Beau Jack Sugar Ray Robinson Muhammed Ali Duk Koo Kim they gave everything they had to it everything they had to it we all require a semblance of victory something to fight for rise against and conqure like me pounding this
