Breathe Spilled Like Bone
Ariana shrugged facing Josh’s mocking clap the stringy harmonica rang acrobatically on the streetlights. He handed her a firebomb, eyes sharp as vinegar. They ran across the hot asphalt, watching the brass kite rise. Both caught in the whirlpool of the maze, they guided the trumpet, mandolin filling the air, sinking into the smokehouse. Her jacket flared,...

The Bone Identity
A K9, with nose to the ground, Found a bone, where no bone should be found. "This mission's a bust!" He thought, filled with disgust, "My treat's in that bone, profound!" ©bfa032225 ...

Premium Member Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone
Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone Mine, mine, mine, I think as I drip drool on the floor. Bloody meat clings tenaciously to the hard bone. White fat, like veins of gold, marbles the red treat. My owner is thawing this delicious delicacy on the counter. I watch and wait with longing as I think of the animal odor. Sharp canines will soon tear and...

Oh, how we are poisoned! The Yonega, the Wasichu, a new creature, different from us in more than just their white skin and sunflower hair. How did such a people come across the great waters? They come to our people with gifts of death. Their ulcers wrapped in calico cloth. Their fevers traded to us for our good...

Funny Bone
I wish I had a funny bone One that was my very own and not cloned And so I asked God one fine night When the lights were off and it was all very quiet God, damn the Adam whose rib got me saddened Give me a bone that would only gladden Something to chew which would make words spew Into colorful...

Version One: A table shared, wood smoothed by stories, hands marked by the land, holding not to let go, but to hold dear— crumb and crust, life flourishing between us. Not to quiet hunger, but to relish, pressed in hands, the warmth of something earned, and shared. Version Two: A table shared, wood worn soft by stories, hands touched by the soil, holding not to part, but to cherish— crumb and crust,...

Bone Beach
BONE BEACH This was the island where it famously ended Upon a peaceful tribe, violence descended A proud history lost and poorly defended Raiders seeking alleged mythical treasures Pillaging gold and jewels by cruel measures The beach a battleground, now just bones In a warm tropical breeze, palms still sway Yet there is so little now that is left to say As identity and...

Waves crash against the ribcage of shore Where unburied bones play on the beach The dead swim in shallow pools beneath Lost Souls never finding their exit door The living are not welcome to come here Sometimes they are seen staring from afar Too many...

Great surfing you may not have guessed can be found in the upper northwest. In a full rubber suit the great whites think looks cute, the dawn patrol shreds the gnar best. Seems the beaches were starting to groan; the supports underneath were all blown. But now that Ozempic has come to Olympic, it appears they will stand on their own. Once fleshy, vivacious, with...

Dredged from the depths of a shaken Sennen seashell she hears once more his voice, low, sonorous tones, sees the bones of her past laid out, splayed out, another story playing out, can feel it in her bones, his voice burrowing in, deep beneath skin, a cold blade digging in, the tide coming in, shrouds of sea mist closing in, the...

As paradise for photographers in their posting zest Designed wondrously, marked by creativity’s best Showcasing archeological beauty as treasure Bone...

Bone Beach is where we first met, remember that huge wave that got us wet? I loved us walking in the sand, picking up seashells in our hand. The cool water licked our feet, the bright sun gave off too much heat. The date was over way too fast why couldn't the day last? Bone Beach is where we will wed, our vows will...

Relentless yearning tints unrestrained the spectral edge of the halcyon horizon, where the nascent scarlet sun unveils the facade of the decorous dawn, brings to me across the million miles of dreaming detour corridor, the sparkle of the sapphire sea, shining with the tinge of avid allure. I stand whelmed at the finite fringe of the primordial vastness vista. Its ceaseless...

There's a sleepy little town on the Mississippi shore. Not many people live there since... well, not anymore. Townfolk tried to keep it a secret, but as secrets go, rumors run swiftly, like a river's current they flow. The way I heard it told, there was trouble on the coast. A party was going on and someone was making a...
