Light My Love
(Up on your pedestal, I send you my love, for—) I know the hands that hammered this arch into a hook, a handle for a pocket watch. I know the fingers that have since broken in their passion for crafting your kin; the legs that march for spare parts scattered, junk stores in our town; the lungs inhaling metal and garage dusts; the beard that is graying nine hairs at a time from start to luminary finish.

Do You Have a Glimmer Journal?
When I was at community college, a guest speaker came. I don’t recall her name, and barely her face, though I think she had blonde hair…She spoke about her life living on a ranch, how she had dropped her urban upbringing and went to live on a ranch in Montana, learning the hard work of keeping horses and cows and everything else. That’s why she came, you see—to talk about the book she wrote.

The Spyglass. Runner-Up in Mythmaker Challenge. Top Story - August 2023.
The Spyglass, Or Myth of the First Orphan The house stands strong despite its sandy foundation. Miles of digging had yielded a layer fit for the necessary starting place. Now, level with the dune runoffs, a patch of grass frames the boundaries of what had become possible in such a wasteland: an oasis, home to an eccentric hermit and his flower garden. He tends to it now, frail spine comforted in familiar bend, spade in hand. A forgotten smile tugs at his stroke-afflicted mouth, but an intensity circles his irises, evidencing the internal battle to rediscover just a memory or two.

The mystery of link embedding can be challenge to both conceptualize and manifest. I don't even really understand how it works, but certainly there was a time I couldn't have told you what "embed" actually does. How could a particular link could place a visual, clickable element right there on a webpage, when another would only paste the URL plainly?
