Twilight Zone Theme Song
16 months and I’m still dreaming your birthday. A pitcher of milk upended over your donkey’s head. A collection of swollen green flowers, mouthing your elegy. Moths fluttering like the gentle hands of spastics, ankles and wrists contracted, the...

I was at this party in a derelict hotel. The party was Mulligan’s, a shadowy leather boy I’d only heard of in passing whispers of disquiet. Along crumbling hallways I lurched, spliffed and looking for a light, past occasional knots of revelers, half-open doors like half-open eyes squinting at...

I’m in my kitchen, half-heartedly throwing a large kitchen knife at what’s left of the back door. Despite many years of practice, I can’t quite get the...
