When I got the prompt from C4ward March Blogathon for day three, I thought to myself this will be easy. The prompt says: look at your body of creative work past and present.

Where?
my eyes are wings as they are blue memorizing so many hues stars of crystal, white smoke rising moving from dream-sleep to awakening bitter dawns and sweet years inspiration, working always working in equivocal space traveling the oblique path to the significant edge who knows when enough is enough one red window, no return (part … Continue reading
Why?
