My stories

1.Three days to kick off. The scent of summer.

By ralph on Tue, 06 Jun 2006

God bless you kid, and all the things you did' (The Blue Nile) It's the strangest thing. Summers arrived. All the girls are wearing skin and all the boys just looking and grinning. I can feel the heat but not the sprit. It's out there I know.

This Family Life

By ralph on Mon, 05 Jun 2006

There's Indentations, on the chipboard wall. From bedposts, punched sex, and addiction. Take away menus, on the door mat. Glossing over red gasbills. Her birthday card. A worn keyhole is busted.

For Rusty

By ralph on Mon, 05 Jun 2006

Drop me off. in your wheezing car. Near the syringe field. Stand me hunched, with the winos. Who drink sherry, with their salad days. Come back later. With a spade. before the frost, the traffic.

Keepers

By ralph on Thu, 01 Jun 2006

I know I am not supposed to do this. I grit my teeth and hold on. I try and try and try. I'm clean and sober. It's not good enough. I am lost and so lonely. I keep thinking of better times.
