Horse Bite

The author tells the story of his efforts to find a bit of permanence in the balance of things. His journey jumps between morning pit stops in the ubiquitous coffee shops of Seattle and the evenings of beers, bartenders, and music clubs where some bedrooms are longed for, some found. Everything slips away, though, until he meets elusive Yvonne who brings the realization from past and present that things "do end . . . so we write books and songs and poems . . . to make love eternal."
