Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Pierce Jones is a country kid born in upstate New York who later drifted into city living for far too long and is now finding his way home, decades later. He prizes hard work, old skills, and bluntness. No useful blade has ever been sharpened without the love of the stone, and his writing is a testament to that.

He is a father, a son, a brother, and a friend.

He loves dogs. Cat people are a mystery.

He appreciates well-aged bourbon and scotch. Neat.

He is an abstract artist. Not so neat.

He is an accomplished marketing professional. It is always about the offer.

Most everything else you need to know about David is pounded into the pages of this book.

 THUNDER STUMBLING

A forlorn drifter is dipped in bronze: Mercury. He spreads wings of damask and comes calling upon a cement cloud to sit and pluck the feathers of passing birds, and to rest in the gray arms of lasting love, once again.

His cries are thunder stumbling downhill, carrying the smothering weight of creaking hinged eyes and arms cut, stretched, up and uplifting, from the heaviest of boys, who, so simple, is crushed by his anchor.

His reflection is in the eyes of men who truly see, and light is the last whisper of a lash that binds and draws noose tight about his neck, where a crucifix would be, if he prayed.

Oh, how he would fly if not for the scarred collar that marks the shrieks and the taunts— tattooed adolescent deep, held tight, Canastota muck stuck to his heavyweight boots. There is no traction for his dreams.

He is down, gone.

ROTUNDA

 strange
 this rotunda
 callous concrete
 behind bars
 inside their eyes
washed in blood and fury
 round inside round
 nowhere to go
 chained
 christmas trees
 walls draped
 evergreen and fir
 stainless steel tables
 drip spirit, calm
 and i am trapped
 soothed and sure
 the trees deep-rooted
 for the season
 recurring theme
 been here
 done this
 circumstances change
 convicts come and go
 i remain
 steady state
 furious and serene
