This is a painting

Never thought I’d see the day

i’ll just see myself

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Illustration description: A medium grey background. The words of the haiku occupy the right side of the image, just above mid-level in black Courier New Bold Italic font. The left side of the image is occupied by a rectangle of stormy cloud framed in textured gold. A shape occupies the right side of the rectangle, vaguely resembling the top half of a human, bevelling giving it the impression of a relief shape. The shape seems to be of a cartoon figure with bushy brown hair and one blue eye showing, a long-sleeved, bright green shirt indicating the main part of the body. The figure seems to paint their own eye with a paintbrush, the gesture causing their elbow to protrude over the golden frame, disrupting the impression of a flat image restricted by the frame.

P.A. O'Neil

Born in southern California, P.A. O'Neil experienced what might be considered culture shock when her family moved to a small town in Washington State. The year was 1970, and the community at the time was not culturally diverse. Proud of her Mexican and Irish heritage, or "Smoked Irish" according to her father, she learned what it meant to be simultaneously in the minority and the majority. P.A. O'Neil's stories have been featured in over sixty anthologies, journals, and magazines. She and her husband reside in Western Washington. Her books, Witness Testimony and Other Tales, as well as Sherlock Holmes's Two Sides of the Same Coin, and In For A Penny, are available on Amazon.

Dusty by Darryl B

I guess there’s a million reasons why I’m sitting on the porch of this cabin with a bottle in my lap. I took enough friggin pain pills to kill a horse, and things are beginning to get hazy around the edges.

I better get this out while I still can....
I was 16 when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, that was right after Kennedy got shot, and the whole damn country was crying. I remember I was down the street at Kenny Statler’s house because we were trying to start a band, and we wanted to be like them, plus I liked his sister Dusty, that was her nickname, she was 15. Their parents weren’t home, and we knew they kept their booze behind the records in the Hi-Fi, how stupid did they think we were? ...
