I have a new memoir poem up on Scuzzbucket! Thank you, Franco Amati, for publishing “Spooked”. This event was either a haunting or a shared dream. You decide. Thanks for reading!

Have you ever experienced something like this? Here is the start of the poem, and I hope you enjoy the rest of it on Medium. After the poem, I discuss the experience.

Spooked 

Night, a suffocating tar pitch.

A whisper strokes my hair.

Laughter and the clinking of glasses

from somewhere overhead.

Music winging to my ears.

I want not to be alone

in night’s dark mound.

Beneath my feet, an ice rink.

I glide in the shadows of this cave,

holding onto the limestone walls,

feeling for handholds and footholds for my ascent………

        I’ve had other encounters, too. You may have read “The One and Only Real True Santa” on my blog and republished on MasticadoresUSA.
