Ev’ry Time

Rants of a Virgo

Even when I’m asleep Part of my mind stays awake Just to dream of you Its that subconscious Unconscious, dedication That kills me ev’ry time You’re so damn exhausting I’d love to walk away But I fear I love you more Please tell me Why there is this feeling low in my belly That signals dread when I think of you Oh but Lover, Should you choose to walk in the door right now I would burst with joy for the occasion I’m so tired Tired of the status quo I hang on each word Merely because it could be … Continue reading Ev’ry Time

Alabama Madam

Rants of a Virgo

  1964             Sandra looked at herself in the full length mirror, wincing at the sight. This meant she couldn’t work this week. If men wanted to see bruised women, they’d just go home after too many martinis after work. No, they came to her because she looked a certain way. Red hair, blue eyes, and not a freckle on her.             She applied the compress to her tattered leg and climbed into bed. It was late and she had important business tomorrow.

Gilded Globe

Rants of a Virgo

Life of the Experience

Rants of a Virgo

Alabama Madam, Chapter One

Rants of a Virgo

The cold mist was quickly turning to a hard rain, causing Sandra to pull her fur around her shoulders tighter. As she walked the uptown sidewalk she had walked so many times before, and under far different circumstances, her troubled mind began to wander… Birmingham, 1961 He always hit her in the same place, hard to see but easy to put her Merle Norman over in a pinch. When he was done, he lit up a Marlboro next to her Virginia Slims and the cheap motel room began to fill with an acrid smoke. Her eyes began to water, but … Continue reading Alabama Madam, Chapter One
