Ice (a poem for winter)

Moonlight, grey and cold, bestows A sanctity On spindly branches Creaking to be free Of imprisoning silvered glass. Winter’s kiss Has rendered them quickly dead. Skeletons part To grant me the wide, Open water. I Press my palms to its arctic smooth, Feel for life. Along this span of icy Blue, I will take Back my living will, Knife blades to the soles Of my feet inseparably strapped, Razor edge To the thick hard cold under Me. My wake will Leave wounds which do not Fill, even as I Heal and am gone, scars to remain Until dawn.

The Actor’s Prayer

O Lord, Please save me from bullshit, From creeping fears that I suck, And from the memory of my poor mother’s face When I told her I wanted to be an actor. O God, Let it not be visited upon me The director who thinks all actors are a little stupid, The person…

Burt Young, Fighting Solo

A Review of “Artist Found in Port Washington Flat” — The set of Burt Young’s solo performance. There are times when casting rises to the level of performance art. In 2008, Mickey Rourke broke our hearts playing the battered, world-weary title character of Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler. It’s not that his performance wasn’t powerful. It was. But at the root…
