"flint"

by Geoffrey Allison, 2021

here,
with its sharp edges,
flint reveals what lies
beneath verdant hills

wildflowers
invite me to bend
into hidden prickly pear
cacti

and the Bluestem leans
easily into its nature,
like a lover telling truth
slant

there,
I learned how to embrace
you, before I'd ever met
you

final draft

here,
with its sharp edges,
flint reveals the truth
beneath verdant hills

wildflowers
invite me to bend
into hidden prickly-pear
cacti

and Blue Stem leans
easily into its nature,
a lover telling truth
slant

there,
I learned how to embrace you,
before I'd ever met you

Hello. It's me, a simple scribbler, independently writing and publishing with a bit of information: This page contains select free-to-read poems and flash fictions, or what I refer to as my Short Shorts.

Some entries — certainly the impromptu poems — have been, are, and will continue to be ephemeral posts.

Please respect the time and effort of the author and do not copy or disseminate this material without the express permission and consent of its creator.
Thank you.

FOR SALE:
BABY'S SHOES (FROM DIRTY DANCING). NEVER WORN.

I write & publish under pseudonyms, although I have written and published works under my real name too. When I do I make these available for sale on a stand-alone basis, here, on this website.

No stand-alone stories (novels, novellas, or short story collections) are offered for sale at this time, only the Rock-n-Roll Reads subscription.
