I only have eyes for you, I say. And I mean it. He is the new standard for all things. Everything is beautiful and then there is him –a whole new definition of ultra-beautiful. When he hugged me last, I almost didn’t feel his arms. His skin is my skin: the very temperature and tempo matches … Continue reading

Untitled. By Rich Beckermeyer
“I created this work toward the beginning of when I realized I had an addictive personality, while on a trip in San Diego in 2018. It reminds me of learning how to swim as a kid, being isolated, and overcoming certain traits while feeling like I’m not able to catch my breath. Many times a drowning sensation … Continue reading

Fleeting Thoughts No. 6
As I walk through the train station, I’m stopped by a man who says that he hopes I have a blessed day, and he is sending me “yellow balls of positive energy.” I’m not exactly sure what this means, but I say “thank you” and keep walking up the stairs. I beat myself up for … Continue reading
Fleeting Thoughts No. 5
I am dry. Drained. Desert-esque. This month this is not my medium. This month I am phoning it in. This month is all shitty first drafts. It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to exist.

Fleeting Thoughts No. 4
Six hours after I thought I saw you on the bus, I was still looking over my shoulder.

Fleeting Thoughts No. 3
The cut on her arm is thin, beaded at one end with blood. Fresh and untouched. Does she know it’s there or did her paper skin catch on some sharp piece of life and quietly tear? It’s a scratch really, perhaps from a cat. Or maybe… It’s so straight, so shallow like the fast flick … Continue reading

Fleeting Thoughts No. 2
We listened to Nancy Sinatra, the sky was lavender, and we were eating that fancy cheese I kept hearing about. We didn’t have to be at the drive-in for another half hour. There was no time to get invested in a TV show, so we sat instead, watching the trees move. Does a scene only … Continue reading

Fleeting Thoughts No.1

I like the thrill of it all, the sort of spectacle and unknowingness and wondering, but I also like the comfort of sitting in … Continue reading
