Stories Don't Need Titles. The snow that had been so long in coming shrugs off streetlights, illuminating small clouds as I press them from my lungs. The snow crunches under my feet, protesting their disruption as the snowflakes huddle together on the ground in a bizarre commune.

My frostbitten finger cries out its usual complaints, even wrapped tight by other fingers and shoved into the pocket of my jacket. “Take care,” I mutter to it, “soon I will make this worth your while.” It is skeptical.

The road ahead of me seems to stretch on to a sort of infinity, the red light of the faraway intersection flaring up at me like the cherry of a cigarett

Cleansing.Lustful glances otherwise occupied
Turn my own gaze downward,
My scuffed and slightly oversized shoes
Draped by scarred and soiled denim,
The flannel pajamas breaking out through
The breaches of overworked knees.
Dressed for the cold in the heat of the night.

Your body pressed against a glittering shirt,

Goodnight Enigmatic SongShe was the song you hear and, at first blush, don't like.
Well, you don't know how you feel about it so you keep listening in an attempt to discover how exactly you feel and then you reach the end of the song and you realize, you don't like it; you love it.
That was Grace.
She was my coworker and she was my friend.
We carpooled together, I drove and she slept most of the way.
"Don't get much sleep at night, do you?" I asked her, catching those drooping lids mid-descent.
"Insomnia, love."
She looked out the window streaked with rain; it spoke in percussive touches filling the car with quiet overcast conversation.
I felt the warmth of her smile in the corner of my eye. The blur of her hand reached at the window to feel the cold of the droplets.
