Busy days. Went to see Brandi Carlile @ the Xfinity Center on Tuesday - such a great show. For a stadium show, it felt very intimate. In difficult times it's always nice to be surrounded by queer joy--the whole crowd was on their feet and dancing the entire time.

Last night was an abbreviated writing night. Made some good progress on the story I'm working on; not 100% sold on it just yet, but, better to make progress than yearn for perfection?

"A Taste of Starlight" - for the curious.

A work in progress about class, art, and life on Volgstadt's streets.

A quiet piece of Victorian gothic horror.
Not meant to shock —
meant to linger.
Some verses are better read in the dark.

Wilde's marvelous philosophical horror is as much a mirror for culture as it is the titular hedonist.
