    About this ebook

    A copy of my written work. its a short collection of poems ie a chapbook.


    Scarlet Angel ass bare to me and almost the world bends over. I place a jewel encrusted skull on her lower back one similar to how Catholic saints ought to be recognized. As we play a game of in and outs her pearls slide east to west while her eyes reflect a glace of bright light of a nearby chandelier. Its almost if her eyes capture a certain shade of the ocean and with her pearls and siren tanassity she completely submerges me in her. Oh pardon me where are my manners I go by nick nack or properly when Im pissed off nick nack patty wack give a dog a bone. Scarlet is also to be addressed as pumpkin but only on special occasions.

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
