Festivities

Busy times, I know.  But perhaps sometime today, during halftime of the Lakers-Celtics game or while you’re waiting for dinner to be ready, click here to read Doing the Dead – 1983, a novella by K. C. Wilson presented by Faraway.

We’ve also got a Christmas story by Michael Pitassi, Baptism By Ice Water: A Christmas Tale.

And, two poems in a series by Katie Friedman, First Date and Physical Love.

First Date

A movie? Dinner?

That’s cliché.

Let’s walk along the beach

Today.

And maybe we will run

And play.

Our hands will touch,

You’ll look away

Sheepishly with that

Shy grin.

A new romance begins again.

And you will laugh and I

Will smile.

And you’ll be thinking all

The while:

Should I kiss her?

Should I not?

Would she mind?
Probably not.

The moment passes,

Nothing done.

We turn away from

The setting sun.

The day is over.

Nothing lost

And nothing won.
