Ă…lesund


But I turned and walked 
Away from all the fun
And back into the black 
Seaside night of Alesund

In the Gray Wood By the River


Somewhere in the gray wood by the river is the huntsman and in the brooming corn and in the castellated press of citiesHis work lies all wheres and his hounds tire not. I have seen them in a dreamslaverous and wild and their eyes crazed with ravening for souls in this worldFly them.

Backwards in Time


"You walk through a series of arches, so to speak, and then, presently, at the end of a corridor, a door opens and you see backward through time, and you feel the flow of time, and realize you are only part of a great nameless procession."
                                 ~John Huston

The Man Bill Murray


"I bet Mafia kids get bummed when they find out the tooth fairy doesn't take other people's teeth or when they find out there's no horse-head fairy at all."
                                                                 ~ Bill Murray
