Beyond Mt. Diablo
Cold moon: full, boastful, bright
On the surface of the bay
Moonglade, and its shimmery kiss
No halo tonight
No angelic aura
Street unlit, houses dark
Gentle rustles of fauna, flora
Luna above
Water below
In between, the land
Touching, and touched
Touching, and touched
In between, the land
Water below
Luna above
Gentle rustles of fauna, flora
Street unlit, houses dark
No angelic aura
No halo tonight
Moonglade and its shimmery kiss
On the surface of the bay
Cold moon, full, boastful, bright
Beyond Mt. Diablo

His stories have been nominated for two Pushcarts, a Best of the Web, and a Million Writers Award. He lives oh-so-close to the San Francisco Bay.
