Spoken Word: “The Cough of a Dead Man” by Andrew B. Clark

"The Cough of a Dead Man" by Andrew B. Clark - Spoken Word Playing with Adobe's new audio enhancer (AI tool). Adobe enhancer mixes and levels out the speech to virtually professional levels (virtually). My original was recorded at my desk on my Apple wired headphones...

Talk To Me About

Talk to me about being sad. Tell me about the ache, the pain, the weight of fate that takes and takes until there’s nothing left. Talk to me about “Tomorrow’s another day.” As if you’d opened your eyes to nothing there, talk to me about being sad. Talk to me about being loved. Tell me [...]

The Journey of Theobald Packenstance

New moon. Crescent moon. Quarter moon, more; Theobald Packenstance believed the mystic lore. His heart whispered secrets - twisted, taught, and tight Of children, monsters, and mystics who danced in the night. New moon. Crescent moon. Quarter moon light; Theobald’s dreams kept him sleepless at night. To journey away, to travel through space That’s what [...]

Finally, and when everyone has had their 15 minutes, we’ll’v run out of time for thoughts and prayers and hopes and cares. He will distract angels and hope for fear of truths, from children and children lost in nightmares and tears from pain. Tap tap tap to ring for shame of a lost connection, and [...]

Simon Star

Simon Star Clouds painted bright against a blue wall.  Children to dance. Legos to fall. My son stood strong to defend his blockade, to stand straight and tall, never to fade. "MOUNT UP!" He called, and it echoed the halls, to closets, to bathrooms to pantries, to walls. "MOUNT UP, I SAY!" another loud gong. [...]

Captain S

Captain S I bring to you, Captain, a man with heavy heart. Lacking in faith, lost to his world, he needs your art. Hold his soul and break the bondage from this fear. Give back his voice so the world can hear. His ship lists long - a swell of a violent, dark night. Standing [...]

Cough of a Dead Man

Cough of a Dead Man I sat next to God at a bus stop tonight, cold, wet, musty and old. Too nervous to move, I stared at the deck. He poked his finger into a cigarette pack, rustling for a Marlboro – stuck. And with the cough of a dead man, he asked for a [...]
