A visit to St. Petersburg, Russia isn’t complete until you step inside the ornate and gorgeous Church of the Savior on Blood! The multi-colored exterior and medieval Russian architecture of the Church draw millions of visitors per year.

Sometimes you run without knowing why.
At least, that’s what I said while being interrogated. Hours must have passed already since I ran from the convenience store, smoked that final I-plan-to-quit cigarette, threw my bloodstained t-shirt in a random dumpster, and counted the cash that was now being called “evidence.” The thing is, I’d stopped running a few times in between there and here.

Dream of nightfall
“Why bother to rise?”
I asked the sun, still smiling,
drenched by summer’s heat.

The Storyteller smiled, stretched and yawned. After a hundred thousand years, a cosmic blink, never sleeping or eating, she had written The End for the last time. There were no more stories to tell. Devious demons and fairies, myths and magical monsters, parables and parodies, all had been recorded in The Book of All, in […]

To the Sea,
I watch anime,
pack, travel by mind (then feet),
wear sunscreen, and smile,
knowing these days end–
often too quickly–I rush,
thirsty and happy,
to the sea, then stop
because I can’t swim–still
I make time to learn.

Would you walk into a bank — or call up the federal government — and borrow $50,000 or more without having some idea of when or how you’ll be expected to pay it back, or what can happen to you if you fall behind? That probably sounds unwise to you, but the results of a…
