A nameless, unnamed demon
on a cliff above the desert
slumbering meaninglessly
for the third eternity in a row
while birds are falling dead to the ground
and the sun is scorching the skies.
The creature that stuck
beyond good and beyond evil
with no purpose
no death
no life
no meaning
It cannot get rid of
both horns and feathered wings.
In between powers
no one has yet been pardoned
by the lords of evil or light
whichever can do it
but won’t.
Oh, please
take a look
make a move
bring the pain.
It can’t be so meaningless,
Oh, lords.

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
