We are the monsters, are we not?  The male of the species, well at least the male of the human species are monsters.  We have been abusing everything we can get our hands on since the beginning of time, or, at least since the beginning of becoming aware.

I wonder if we feel we have to punish all other living creatures because of our absolute sorrow and distaste for life and death.

Around five in the morning John finally decided to call it quits and was gathering up his equipment and cleaning up where he had been sitting on the bank.

John heard something behind him and turned figuring Annie was finally coming out.  It wasn’t Annie Cosmic.  There was a large man standing in front of John.  He was wearing a t-shirt that said, “Eating isn’t cheating” and had a leather jacket on that was covered with labels and swastikas.

The man spoke, “Well, well, well if it isn’t an old white haired hippy.  Hey boys, we got us a real live hippy here.  What ya think we should do with him?” 

Three more men walked over from the campsite next to John and Annie Cosmic’s. 

The one growled.  “I say we kill him and then fuck his old lady and make her one of ours.” 

The first one said, “Sounds good to me boys.”  Those was the last words he would ever utter on this plane of existence.

John heard what could only be described as a whoosh sound going through the air past him and he watched a large knife embed itself into the man’s chest.  John assumed it was Annie Cosmic behind him.

John tried to move to go for the remaining three but found that he was anchored in place and there seemed to be an actual shield around him. 

John watched Annie walk past him.  She was brilliantly shining and she had one thing on her mind and that was riding the earth of the remaining three men that were coming at us.

I watched in absolute horror, fascination and lust as Annie Cosmic tore apart the three men.  She literally tore them to pieces with her hands and a knife. 

Her movements were like ballet.  She was dancing as she tore off their limbs, ripped open their chests and severed their heads from their bodies.  It was sheer poetry watching her.  I kept hearing the song “We are the Champions” in my head as I watched.

She was quick.  What pain they did feel was immediate and didn’t last long before they were dead.

As I stood shielded and anchored watching this I felt my own energy with Annie in some strange way and I felt myself becoming drained as the battle continued and ended.

When it was all over Annie Cosmic turned and walked to me and the shield came down and I fell into her arms unconsciousness.

Annie Cosmic cleaned up her latest artwork and put all the bodies and parts in a big pile and set fire to them.  She packed up the van and we headed out.  I was out cold.

 I remembering coming too once and I was soaking wet with sweat but also felt like I was freezing to death.  I could see that Annie was driving.  I passed back out.

I don’t’ know how long I was out but when I came too we were in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico and the heat was amazing. 

I woke up to find Annie wrapped next to me.  We were both naked. 

I leaned back a little and looked into her face.  My god what a beautiful woman Annie Cosmic was.  What the hell is she doing lying naked next to me?

Annie whispered, “Well cowboy, so you aren’t dead after all.  We don’t’ have to go to California now.  Your gift came to us here.  We got the rest of the day to rest and love, if that is ok with you cowboy.”

I kissed Annie Cosmic and figured at that very moment that I was the luckiest man on the planet.

It’s been suggested that the human species is actually a disease or virus of some kind because of the way we destroy everything in our path and how we can multiply in such numbers.  Makes sense to me.

I sometimes wonder if man is the disease and woman is the cure.

Something more

Awake

Message in a broken bottle

Keeping the faith even when you don't believe

Dreaming of a dark place

Atmospheric dancing  

A distance running 

Head Shot 

A silent rage
