My Boy Builds Coffins
My son is a carpenter like his father before him. Every day he rises with the sun, a hammer clenched in his fist and nails stuck between his teeth. Woodcraft is his passion, the grime of dust another layer of skin. Splinters and nicks cover his fingers, but they don’t bother him. He’s used to the pain. His workshop is small but filled with the tools of his trade. Hand planes and chisels line the walls, vises and clamps are strewn about on his workbench. He knows each of them personally, an extension of his own body. Part of his very soul.

Damn You, Dave Grohl, You Made Me Cry
To say I wasn't always as impressed with the man's work as I am today would be an understatement. It was around 1996 and my big sister was going through her angsty Nirvana phase. Wearing flannel, a pair of Levi's 501s and a bomber jacket, her hair with that poor girl's Billie Eilish look, black with blue roots, that comes from the dangerous combination of teenagers and box dye. Nirvana's Nevermind playing every day, at ear-shattering volume. Her room, always with the windows covered with black curtains, with a huge poster of her idol, Kurt Cobain.

HOME
Departure Trouble back home demanded change. So, like a leaf blown from its tree too early I left home on a gloomy morning. I can still remember my crying grandma waving me off, understanding the situation a lot better than me. She weeps on departure every time, and I dread the moment she’s not there to cry for me, just like the old dog that’s not there anymore to greet me in frenzied excitement, hump my leg and lay down next to me when I stumble home drunk.

Soundtrack To My (So-Called) 90's Life
At 16, I scoured the pages of my dELiA's catalogue desperately seeking something unique to call my own. Constructing myself like a magazine collage, I carefully procured each aspect of who I wanted to be. I hoped that in my small town of 10,000 people, the end result was individuality without seeming eccentric.

Dreaming in Blue
He eyed the other teenagers gathered outside the record shop, playfully pushing one another and laughing periodically at little jabs from the louder mouths. Had he gone to school he’d probably share a classroom with them, and he stood daydreaming of another life in their company while he waited impatiently, shifting his weight between feet, for his wristwatch to hit 9:04am.
