The Hulking Beast With Broad Maw
Still in stillness coming still, nothing can keep it gone. Not any pill. No tricks or tips or routine will keep the Hulking Beast With Broad Maw from coming back. Always well past the witching hour, it comes in at 3 o’clock; slipping in during the hypnopompic state so there is no way to tell what is dreamscape and what is real.

Queen of the Gas Station
Under swollen moon, muted light contours leaf blades at ends of jerking, gnarled limbs still reaching out for the creature they had long outlived; no longer a purpose for their distance from one another — unlike the crowding trees of a forest revitalized. They bear a curious name unknown to them and inconsequential.

Cursing the Blessed Mountains
The funniest part is I hate the mountains. Imagine having altitude sickness at 4,000 feet (1219 meters). It’s embarrassing. I feel my absolute best at or below sea level. I’m built to stick close to the shore, to reside in coastal states, to trek low-level deserts. However, I feel better after spending time in the mountains. After the sickness, the misery, the exhaustion, comes energy, calm, and a will to live. I go to the ocean with its littoral zone and dunes to find immediate peace and remind myself life is not just nice but beautiful and worthy. I go to the mountains to then return home with the antidote to unwarranted meltdowns, to manage the overload of noises and information.
