Moonlight tells me that it’s finally time. Time to crack your egg’s eggy shell, crawl on out and stretch your pretty neck. You don’t have to worship Aten any…
Everlake
Stars turned overhead. I had been spending the weekend at my Grandfather’s cabin in Nova Scotia, and he had agreed that my brothers and I could spend the night…
The Silent Brother
This hollow cathedral, awash in the light of the winter’s cold moon, is my home. Alone here I ponder the darkness of night, and the future that waits for this…
