    To Reach You

    My house says to me, “Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.”And the road says to me, “Come and follow me, for I am your future.”And I say to both my house and the road, “I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there isa staying in my going. Only love and death change all things.”-- Kahlil Gibran from Sand and FoamMarcus Benjamin Ray Bradley :Imagining All The People: Poetry Inspired by the Characters in the Lyrics of The Beatles The Beatle Works LTD Book Baby DirectMentions:John ComptonWillie CarverMarbles on the FloorThe Archetypal ArtistStephen King : On Writing Kurt Vonnegut and MuseumSupernaturalJack KerouacThe BeatlesLed ZeppelinLamp LitPablo NerudaNizar QabbaniGhost City ReviewAWPOIngo BoingoSierra FerrellOrville PeckDolly PartonGood people doing good things ---> Random Acts' Lantern Fund, How to Help MN Master List , How to Perform an Act of Kindness LocallyFood Not Bombs,INARA, MAP, Islamic Relief for Palestine, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's FundLegacy of War FoundationUNHCR,*I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture.

    Demeter’s Prayer to Hades "This alone is what I wish for you: knowledge. / To understand each desire has an edge, / to know we are responsible for the lives / we change. No faith comes without cost, / no one believes without dying. / Now for the first time I see clearly the trail you planted, / what ground opened to waste, / though you dreamed a wealth / of flowers. / There are no curses—only mirrors / held up to the souls of gods and mortals. / And so I give up this fate, too. Believe in yourself, / go ahead—see where it gets you." --- Rita DoveJorge López Llorente 's LinksMentions:Alien Buddha PressSuburban WitchcraftDavid LynchJoseph Heinrich BeuysThe Archetypal Artist: Reimagining Creativity and the Call to CreateDan BrownFinnegan's WakeLauren MarkhamPaul AusterParis ReviewCaroline PolachekGood people doing good things ---> Random Acts' Lantern Fund, How to Help MN Master List , How to Perform an Act of Kindness LocallyFood Not Bombs,INARA, MAP, Islamic Relief for Palestine, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's FundLegacy of War FoundationUNHCR,*I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture.

    Hogswatch Special 2025
    Dec 25 2025

    It's the P & W Holiday Special!


    There's a small foreword where I jabber some personal lore and propose to the 10 listeners of Hiatus Peaks, y'all know how to find me ;)


    Then, I read from Bagombo Snuff Box, another collection of Uncle Kurt's short stories, a little gem called, "A Present for Big Saint Nick". In which an obnoxious, manipulative, petty blowhard throws his annual hostage situation- er- Christmas party and it's one no one will ever forget.


    I close it out with one of my poems for the end of the year. We made it, babies! We're here.


    May we all receive what we deserve in this season of reckoning.


    Thank you for allowing me into your life, for spending your time with me, for letting me play. I love you. Merry Happy Winter Observations to all.


    Cheers!



    Remember the turnips!
