Are They Really Me?
Are they really me? Do they look alright? Should the frames be black? Or should they be white? Is the glass too dark? Is the glass too bright? Should I wear them now? Should I wait till night? Is this really me? Do I feel alright? Should my skin be black? Should my skin be white? Are my thoughts too ‘girl’? Would a ‘boy’ feel right? Should I be one now? Should I change tonight? Am I really me?

The Blue Girl
As sole survivor in this zone, I walk up to the tanks alone, To estimate the bodies lost, extrapolate the human cost, Of nuclear warfare on the few, who live here in the fluid blue. The sludge inside the first urn stinks, of rotting flesh, violets and pinks, I wonder if, suspended here, this poor boy used to dream or fear, The mushroom cloud that flourished here, as he clung to his girl… so near. The blue girl floats within her womb, the test tube-capsuled, frozen tomb, Inverted, nude, her lifeform squirms, her body warming up in terms, Of radiation-blasted heat, which peeled her skin off like a sheet, Her expectations sore-denied, her liver grilled, her kidneys fried, As she concedes the life that died, when doctors sealed her fate inside, A stasis tube of forlorn hope. I close my eyes, I claw and grope, Till I find her umbilical cord, and say the sacrificial word, Her cryogenic dreams decay, as I pull her sweetheart… away.

Ana’s Orbs

I lay against her back, feeling her taut muscles, the cleft buttocks, as she swam with me attached to her body, her willing limpet. We reversed roles. I was hopeless. I thanked Ana for helping me find my way to the edge of the three-tier swimming pool. She laughed heartily, told me to learn to swim, ‘Swing those arms. Let your buddy roll like a porpoise in brine!’ from Basque – Love Stories

Our Secret Place
After reading Our Secret Place live to my local Writing Group, I was asked if Linda really existed. She was my mixed doubles partner at school and is still very much alive, I hope. I used the local tennis courts for the story as they were overgrown awhile. Oh, and our secret place is still there, thru the hidey-hole in the hedge. – Daniel
