Ayatollah, Ayatollah.

Ayatollah, Ayatollah!

Why are the streets of Tehran

painted green?

Ayatollah, ayatollah,

Why does Iran bleed?

Why is there a sea of black?

Why are the streets paved in blood?

Ayatollah, ayatollah,

the people have called a jihad.

They have pricked your flesh,

and you have bled,

a mere, mortal man you [...]

Neutron Talks Trek

Liz got tired of me watching the trailers for the new Star Trek flick and hauled me off (oh, I was kicking and flailing like a cat on a iced over pond) to see a showing last night.

Like many of us here, I grew up on Trek. Now, no, I wasn’t there for the original [...]

Utopion!

“Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town. Here we have some rules, let us lay them down. Don’t make waves, stay in line, and we’ll get along fine. Duloc is a perfect place. Please keep off on the grass, shine your shoes, wipe [...]

On Writing with Depression

Writing with Depression
I’ve been meaning to write a post to talk openly about working with Bipolar II, PTSD, and chronic insomnia …and how that related to creative endeavors.

Novus Ordo Seclorum

Dear Julius,

the gates of Heaven will open for you,
your trial of tears ends here.
Kokumthena’s skeemotah is yours
to keep. But she must [...]

The Farrier’s Daughter

The Farrier’s Daughter

‘Twas the Farrier’s forge that birthed the blade,

his blood called out for revenge,

at the Farrier’s wife’s grave a vow was made.

The Farrier, of weaponcraft did he forbade,

his wife, murdered years ago by his handicraft, on her deathbed did whinge,

‘twas the Farrier’s forge [...]

False Prophets

“False Prophets”

I want to rummage through your garage sale,

take the memories that mean the most to you,

claim them for my own.

I want to taste your emotions,

savor everything from the

bitterest deeps of the Marianas yesterdays to

the stigmatic sweet highs of tomorrows.

I want to [...]

Jeff’s thoughts on writing about ‘the Other.’

Yes.
Yes I can.

Any questions?
