between the shadow and the soul

I am a New England native. The hills, trees, and the red brick soiled by time and memory have called me back home from my time among the the desert mountains and neon.

Waiting at McCarran

Sitting on a metal seat
Reading Love is a Dog from Hell,
The stainless steel
Digs into the back of my fat fleshy
Thighs.
Others sit on either side
Charging their phones
As I am.
Does it dig into them too?
Technology has it’s needs…
Fucking greedy.
And we suffer for it
On stainless steel seats
And on stainless steel counters
Waiting for electricity
To do it’s job.

by Dan Labrecque

Just give me time
You know your desires and mine
So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine
For I must be well.

Mumford and Sons

There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark. Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless.
