Three Poems

Three poems by H. W. Honeycutt, 2016

"Key West Postcard," "When You Win at Gambling," and "Magic Minus Zero" published exclusively by The Movable Fulcrum, July 20, 2016

Can I preview one?
Why, sure. Key West Postcard is here.

Inspiration for each:

"Key West Postcard" - Meditations on my escape plan.  

"When You Win at Gambling" - Hitting the number I needed at Fire Keeper's Casino in Battle Creek, Michigan.

"Magic Minus Zero" - Watching a documentary about the last man ever to walk on the moon. Also, one stanza is cribbed from Henry Miller's Sexus. An homage.

I Never Knew Camelot

A short story by H. W. Honeycutt, 2016

 

"I Never Knew Camelot" published exclusively by The Movable Fulcrum, July 20, 2016

First Line: 

He confessed that it started not long after my mother’s accident, and that it had been going on for a decade.

What it's really about:

An affair with a teenage babysitter.  An untimely death at 46.  A young man's family seems to be tangled in a Kennedy curse.  He fears he will be next in the cross-hairs, unless he finds a way to stop it.  

It's recommended to those who like:

Uncanny stories, oddball Kennedy lore, or rousing speeches in Bostonian accents

Jacob

First Line: 

Near the end of my night shift at the Country Store, a taxi rolled up.

What it's really about:

A washed up former college basketball player encounters someone from his past.  He recounts the events which led their paths to diverge.

Early 90's basketball, Halloween, boyhood, or Charles Bukowski
