Poetry

Remember the Hollow Men shared poetry with one another? Why did we stop?
Here’s one I clipped from the New Yorker and tacked to the studio wall a while ago.

something a little fun.,

Fortunately, our writing is much better than these contest winners! However, these provide a wonderful laugh.

A Decade in the Making

Good 2010 to all of my fellow Hollow Souls.
I’ve been in a particularly reflective mood in this New Year, and I want to explore some of those reflective moments with the rest of you, if possible.  It’s been a decade since the calendar flipped over to the year 2000, a lot of fears never [...]

Surfacing and Resubmerging

My apologies to all of my fine fellow Hollow Men.  I am making a short reappearance, and then will probably not be on much over the next week.  Steph’s finishing up her last semester of classes, and it makes it hard to do anything at the computer other than work.  I look forward to getting [...]

Hold the Phone: Conversation among the HM

Francisco Part IX: Ned’s Second Segment

Francisco opened his eyes. Sand clung to his face, hands, and arms. He lay at the foot of a large heap of sand at the back of a construction site. The last thing he remembered from this sequence was with Rachael again. She had been sitting on his lap showing him how to convert a [...]

Pete part 2

It was a muggy, rainy kind of day; not particulalrly cold, which made the chill Francisco experienced all the more suspect. Then it hit him, like he knew it would ultimately, but had hoped, prayed to himself that he might awaken from this exsistance and be back in the warm embrace of Rachael. [...]
