Dear Freinds: Craigslist just ain't cutting it... tapping other sources like a sweet maple tree... maybe you have heard of a good studio home for me. A creative lifestyle located downtown, shared responsible accommodations for me and my massage table, needed for April 1st.

Archaeology and homelessness in Bristol

I twittered this project run by some of my colleagues, but thought it might be picked up if I blogged it here.

Early Spring

Silhouettes stem

from barking greys

bubble gum petals
bursting out of peridot seams
split the compliment
with orange alert

shocking
pink explosions

a comic book blue sky.
