Honeysuckle Color
It is a beautiful color.
Breaking teeth shoved on weak knuckles
Heavy breathing and honeysuckle color
The smell of acid and flower
Collision of a tower
You have emptied your stomach by the hour
Hair clumps and dried lips
The smell of sour on fingertips
Dizziness on ice
Everything nice
Everything that is wonderful about being alive
But you do not feel alive
You are merely trying to survive
Honeysuckle color
It is a beautiful thing
To be made of glass and flowers
Dying smiles and crashing towers
Cracked skin and dried lips
But at least you feel like a sunflower
At least you feel pretty
At least you’re not guilty

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER
Stars twinkled brightly in a moonless sky, reflecting in the calm waters of Lake George in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. It was a warm August night, as we laid back in the boat, marveling at the magnificent Milky Way. Dark skies made the stars more brilliant at this time of year, especially during a new moon, causing wonder and enchantment. We never tired of stargazing while floating on water, a truly immersive experience.
