Lately, I don’t stay up late. Been sleeping. It’s been four nights, But that’s four nights for the first time. Lately, I don’t always break. Been breathing. It’s been four days, But that’s four days […]

Boy that Boy (7/2018)
The boy who couldn’t let himself in. Every time he’s ending is when it all begins. Woke up in a hurricane, afraid to sleep at night. That boy smiled through so much pain until he […]
Sat on a Saturday (7/2018)
I sat alone on a beach on a Saturday. Thought about a note I wrote a while ago. A note about fighting parts of myself, wanting free. I know I called it, ‘Song To Me’. […]
Silence City (7/2018)
Gotta leave this city, man. This city’s killin’ me. Gotta find some balance, man, I can’t stop spillin’ me. Gotta find cool sunshine, man. This sunshine’s killin’ me. Gonna take a walk out there, Get […]
Weather and a Woman (7/2018)
Where is my ship? Who moved my shit? Been sleeping nine to five. Seems something isn’t right. Got too much on my mind. Weather and a woman. How did I slip? Who touched my shit? […]
6 to Space (7/2018)
I drive in the sandstone, my mind in the sea. I climb to your rooftop for a little peace. I go to the city, sit down by the bay. I go up to heaven to […]
Stories in my Mind (7/2018)
I read a book where it wasn’t all easy, But I’ve always liked making up Better stories in my mind. The way before is now behind. Ahead of a head and it’s always easy. Yeah, […]
Karen (7/2018)
Karen, you carry us up the road to the show. Karen you’re scarin’ us – we don’t wanna slow. A spring in the mountains and we’ve got to go. I’m right behind you and you’re […]
Watch It (7/2018)
Everyone’s leaving the house. Evil keeps more people out. Babies in cages, our hearts rearranging, Take us back to the carriage. This pumpkin has no clue. Poisoned heirs. Out of order. Tearing tiny fingers from […]
Two Piece Puzzle (7/2018)
He’s an idiot genius. He’s a tortured heart. He’s a one piece puzzle That somehow falls apart. He’s spinning vinyl’s brainchild. He’s so goddamn smart. He’s a two piece puzzle That no one ever starts. […]
Homemade Desert (Just Tuesday) (7/2018)
I write on an elephant. Home, made. Desert. Elephant’s alone with me. It’s so warm, so they all stay inside. Except the neighbors, they’re fighting again. They make my moments rebegin. Her car won’t start. […]
Smile That Shuffle (7/2018)
Prickly green scenes. Strings strumming strung out fingers. Looking for his place, where there aren’t any trees. Sugar coated foam. Bee sting finger building boards, Begs to build a home. Walk beneath with memories, looking […]
Buried (7/2018)
In some ways, it’s already yesterday. I don’t know how I made it. I got buried. I dug in. Got dug out by people I dig. Pulled out by people I love. Why do people […]
Ball of Twine (7/2018)
Widowed paws, pause – no Stop. Play with my mind. Cats, skylines, women, Songs scratch this little ball of twine, It’s mine. Sax stranger, drive me wild. Play with the night. Love, roses, women. Pick […]
Oven (7/2018)
Third story, oven, Looking out at the trees. Thinking of things I thought I would be. Dust swirling, oven, Castles latched on the breeze. Traveled at night, so far from the sea. When all the […]
Somehow Have Me (7/2018)
Skipped stones and steeped thought. I walked for years before I got lost. And I never knew I’d be alright, If I slept all the way through the night. There is a light inside me, […]
Denver to the Desert (7/2018)
The leaves changed with the terrain. Leaves left and came with the terrain. We listened to the Cities during sunset here. Years ago. So I gave it a spin in the dark. Thought of you […]
Past The Mountain (6/2018)
Torn up plans, loading your whole life. Move it over the mountain And always take your time. Tattooed ants carry so much life. Moving over the mountain, Where they won’t have to hide. So many […]
Warrior (7/2018)
His thoughts walked while he took in the lake. Delayed, walked deep, deep, his dark ocean. Beneath sleeping, steeping emotion. Up to now, a roller coaster. Never been afraid of roller coasters. Never knew why […]
Emerald City Blues (7/2018)
I am a lion. Courage, my desire. Afraid of heights, my life out on a wire. Dogs show men who preach they’re not liars. A curtain brought a tin man a home. I am no […]
