A Dreamtime Dominion: Poetry Noir 1996 - 1997 by Stephen Donald Huff Price verified 5 hours ago

Mad pathos fetish broods while the black brow is creased to contemplate all manner of undoing, lays a thumb to the blade beneath a leering, sanguine eye and yearns unspeakably for a final message from God. Gross pathos fetish seethes to feed upon frustrations and terrors until the mind of a single lunatic is filled with dreams of dark endeavors that become a horror of blood, until pale the gaping face festooned in spider webs of splatters beholds a hand trembling at the wound, and moans out a final message to God. Drear pathos fetish blooms, that from an unwholesome vacuum, that from a fog of unfocused movements, a single buoying thought is borne, which thought becomes a thing of steel and lead and of murders' rich rewards; which thought looses fate's prolific forefinger within the guard to draw down the roughly righteous intent of God.

Juxtaposition, which carries the strapline 'a safe sex fable for our times', was written in the autumn of 2013 to highlight the alarming increase in the number of gay men living in London testing positive for HIV. As of November 2015 (the last complete year's data reported by NAM), although the number of gay men who have HIV without knowing it has declined in recent years, the United Kingdom's HIV epidemic in gay men continues unabated.

Mac Klein had made a series of disciplined life choices. He was now thirty years old and a successful professional athlete. He lived in a beautiful mansion in Seattle with plenty of room to surround himself with family and friends. He devoted all his time and energy to his career, and he had no interest in starting a serious relationship with a woman. He certainly would never think of looking up his childhood crush on social media so he could contact her in an effort to reconnect. Mac would never do that. He wasn't even the social media type. His sister, Katie, was, but she wouldn't do something as bold as reaching out to Morgan Lake on his behalf (and without his permission). Or maybe she would. After all, sometimes a little family interference was necessary when love was on the line.
