- Bio
- I am a 30 year cattle farmer. I have 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy) who range in age from 7 years down to 2 months. I am married, been with the same woman now for 10 years. I have worked as a cook, salesman, tailor, engineer's assistant, and also a bomb maker . I have been writing my entire life (really I mean that like all of it even way down into 'em baby years) and still, feh, not so good. I wish there was more to say about me but no such luck. Oh, yes you can all just call me, Jesse. I have seen the trouble people have when replying to me and they find that they must use that awkward JMitch79 business...so my name is Jesse and you may call me by it.

flame Eaters
When your eyes were turned away
When your black eyes were turned away
Half-closed
And looking far off
Is when you lost me,
Sightlessly lost me
In the thick darkness
The dark barely-here-shadows
And the wild sounds
Of wild things.
Lost in the places of fires
And slow trains /… Read full post »
Travels in the Chevy/oldsmobile part 3
With everyone piled inside of the primer grey solid iron battle ship of a late seventies Oldsmobile, we balled up and held on with all mighty as Jeff turned the key and the fire inside this vile beast breathed to life and all the air around us chugged into a frothy… Read full post »

ambushed
 
Ana walked gingerly down the road that ran by all the best farmland, glancing over her shoulder and off to her side every once and while. She slowed down and sped up depending on the scenery. The sky was gray-green with the constant threat of rain, and a cold… Read full post »

I feel a little bit better
As the weather warms and the sun heats

Of me
Little ancient bits of bone and all the tired
Flesh and cool skin
Pulled over me in heap.
Most everyone I know is most likely

The Suicide of Dorothy Hale
The Suicide of Dorothy Hale
A thousand miles up
A hundred thousand miles above
Looking down
As the air blasts though
Punching in holes
In me
In sight
In red below
In everything.
The hunger is the thing
The hunger is the sting,
Right
Always falling and rising

Big Music
Sleep, sleep falling deep into
A sedative sleep.
Painted ruby lips, red, red,
The seductress smile.
Solitary and sedentary, the selenium
Sun keeps
Me drifting.
Indian Ocean, South China sea, the flavors and spice
Cinnamon, cloves and safron rice.
Tiny islands, dots, dots, all across the
Waters.

Judges
Judges
On the muddy banks of the Jordan
Stands the keeper of the bees,
Tiny frame
Lithe
Standing straight…
The candle stick maker
The General,
long red hair waving in the yellow orange light of
The breaking dawn.
Blinded and battered
A little child in a huge hulking body
Shoulders bowed
Nothing lef… Read full post »
The Husquavarna
The Husquavarna
The wild hiss of the idling engine,
The fake growl, the chug and jerking,
Loud noises…405
Meant to be heard.
The sound echoing and bouncing back
In the tiny little spaces
Where I hide my head.
The big eyes, the big broken broken eyes,
Staring back in… Read full post »
