Santorini Blue"In one of the photos, you are reading a book on the terrace. I can't see the cover. You are smiling. There's nothing on the table — no cup of coffee, no glass of wine. It must be midday...I have no recollection of this."

Hungry Zine, 2022

Almost Amsterdam"The server takes my order with pen and paper. One more breakfast from now, she will recognize me with a smile, ask how my story is coming along. Two more, she'll want to know how my mother is doing, bring a small orange juice without asking. But..."

A Kindness of Spanish Oranges"My eyes were still adjusting to that first foggy morning when dawn was breaking over the Galician hills. There were dark shadows and unfamiliar forms, the occasional cry of a rooster, a dog barking on some distant farm."

Fair Winds at Clover Point"The front door to my heart is a windswept coastline park, wild around the edges. A rocky shore strewn with slippery kelp, boulders, piles of driftwood. Framed by backward leaning trees. Gusts so fierce at times, you can barely stand upright."
