Gone

Posted on May 4, 2018 by L. T. Garvin, Author • 19 Comments

I stepped into a cove of time at the edge of a neighborhood where down the street an old lady sang the finale of her daydreams the sky hung close and whispered wayward secrets in this place of ruins and relics prompting me to disbelieve the promises of architecture Sure, you can go inside and … Continue reading →

The Dairy Treat Princess

Posted on September 16, 2017 by L. T. Garvin, Author • 31 Comments

At fifteen, I found myself intricately studying the architecture of hamburgers and following the instructions of my uncle regarding the assembly and appearance of such culinary delicacies. Uncle Ron was my mother’s older brother and they were just like peas and carrots, as Forest would say. He knew the food business as he had established … Continue reading →

Monuments and Memories

Posted on August 18, 2016 by L. T. Garvin, Author • 27 Comments

They carved you a monument black, glossy, light bouncing stone now reflecting that brilliant sun. There you are keeping company in a field of pioneers.
