Posted by The Opiate Literary Review has published my poem, “White Lady Getting off the Bus” which is a surrealistic poem about a white lady getting off a bus dressed in death playing the flute of life.
White Lady Dressed in Death
White lady
Dressed in death
Playing games
Green blues on a flute
Black man dressed in life
Playing symphonic rock on a drum
A bus pulls up
Vomiting out passengers
Lining them up on a red dot
For worshiping the god of death
Does it make any sense
Unless you are already there?
Ariel Chart has published my poem, “Imagining the End of the World” and my short story, “Just Another Night in the City of Angels”
Imagining the End of the World
imagining the end of the world
Imagining the End of the World
I saw the four horsemen of the apocalypse
Beckoning me to join them on their midnight ride
Death, pestilence, plague and war
They were ready to ride into the sunset
Spreading their hate with them
As they led the world to its foretold doom
The end days were approaching they told me
And their time was near
I begged them to hold off
To give us more time
To work things out
They laughed and said
Time waits for no one
We have a divine plan to work out
You have been warned before
And will be warned again and again
But soon it will be time
And we must do our duty
To bring an end to this benighted world
And fulfill our destiny
And yours
But for now
We will let you sleep
And let you prepare yourself
For the time is near
The end of the world is coming
It is later than you think
Soon soon the antichrist will come
Uniting the world
And leading the battles too come
Before the end of the world
And mankind ceases to exist
Just dust in the wind
Of a dead planet
In a forgotten corner of an uncaring universe
All part of God’s plan
