Munky MindBy J. Parrish Lewis remember when we muddied our elbows and knees, crawling through the creek? we kept our eyes trained for the enemy. we built forts above and below and sometimes in between we saw eyes staring out of sewers and imagined monsters it was probably only imagination because imagination plays and plays it…
Present By J. Parrish Lewis I drove into sunlight 63 miles an hour the Sun’s stare skipped across the heavens — a sharp pebble across the stream — godrays knowing as if knowing and illumination were one and the same I had to shield my eyes and pull down the visor but there’s no hiding…
We recently moved to a new home, which meant we were in possession of boxes upon boxes upon boxes.
