Little Room by Red (Angora Poets World Caffe)

 Crossing the border

We are all trapped by the curve of our signatures.

Our histories are somewhat similar,

We are almost the same, but we are not the same.

We are carved in complementary shapes,

even when reality blows forth an autumn chill, and we are nothing more than friends,

Summer dreaming is as heavy as whipped cream;

but you don’t feel the same,

you don’t share the same dream, I let the sleeping kids lie.

I lie to myself, making lions out of tabbies,

words are the only currency I can afford,

music is the only God I pray to.

Could I will you to cross the border towards my side?

The girls are waiting to lie down,

About the book

I can’t recall where the idea of a ghost solving her own murder came from, but as I continued writing, I liked the concept of getting to see what happens after you die and how people may not react in the way you hoped they would. It helped me to develop the characters in a different way to any of the other books I’ve written. I learned that imperfect characters can be better to read about, rather than unrealistic characters who do everything right all the time.

The protagonist, Sarah has been slightly self-absorbed for most of her life, thinking her fiancé (Paul) is the love of her life. After she is murdered and becomes a ghost, she discovers that’s not true. The real Paul doesn’t match up to her imagined version of him. In fact, quite a few characters are hiding something, which adds to the intrigue of who the killer might be. Her behavior is young for her age in some ways, because she hasn’t had much life experience.

Penumbra and the Cellar Door

(In which my horses register the Kansas eclipse...)

Pretty word, Penumbra, deserving of a poem

and Cellar Door, two more together, a gift from

some English teacher many many years ago when

I was in third grade, she said the words and said

they were so lyrical and some words, when combined

had that magic beyond the meaning, it cut a pathway

in my mind, though it puzzled me for years until it

didn't and I understood some of what she meant.

The eclipse mooned Kansas yesterday and with the

cardboard eyewear I registered the slight scythe of

sun, the crescent slimmer than any moon on any

Arab flag, and then the word Penumbra flared around

the full black moon, and grass was individualized, no

longer just a pasture, but single stems dimensional.

My horses grazed around me, their grass-pull

squeaks the only sound, one gazed around when

darkness rose among the brome, and said the equine

equivalent of hmmm, went back to grazing. I may

have had a rapture of the dark where I quit breathing

for a moment, but it passed with the moon, and time

began for me again. Thin tattered veils of clouds slid

high and fast across the moonbit sun then it was whole

again and so was I. Penumbra Cellar Door I prayed.
