February 16 – Give Me Shelter
The roof above and the carpet below
Tell a similar story:
Cracked, lined, riddled with moisture
Stained, spotted and worn away
Peeling back to the roots of
Skeletal rafters and joists
This threadbare flesh of two hands
Cradling and sheltering while I sleep
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.

Nice twist at the end of it being not a house but hands.
