Just tired of all this on my own. Just tired of gnawing the bone. Just tired of missing some people, and all of the love that I owe. Just tired of the things that I […]

Just tired of all this on my own. Just tired of gnawing the bone. Just tired of missing some people, and all of the love that I owe. Just tired of the things that I […]
She’s like a firefly. I swear she’d been soaked in lightning three times. Her light so bright, she bothered night, I swear she lit up the sky. Let me into your darkness and light. Mystery […]
Tom always did it so simply. Bob always only spoke truth. John wrote of corn flakes and warm guns. Tomm, always there, yet aloof. Paul was a lion. I am a storm. He found his […]
Slow drip, morning trip to color corner for Teacher. Loved the ambiance, a bit more avocado maybe. The place was on her level, and she never went for the cookin’. Just felt right at home. […]
Blasted off for at least two years. My rocket, crafted sans landing gear. Countdown, fuse and watch it go. Slow motion fireworks show. Crawling light cannot explode. Learning to embrace embracing my crazy. Rearranging. To […]
What do I live for? Why do I breathe? What am I seeking that will make me me? What can I give up? What do I need? Who fills my heart, of the souls that […]
It’s where you’re going. It’s where you’ve been. It’s all your angels. It’s all your sin. To learn surrender. To lean on time. To know no ending. To find your rhyme. How I got here. […]
I left on the right side of the wrong road, I suppose. Who can make any sense of my seven senses? I’d give my two cents about all of this, everything, but this mind’s a […]
To see the brightest eyes of your very best friend. To wait for them at the airport again. Faywood Springs, the happiest you’ve ever been. Always dug those pants. Always dug the way you dance. […]
Thought I’d take some time today to catch some sunshine. Take it off, really feel it. Feels good to really feel it. Time leaves answers to questions that nobody’s ever thought to ask. Time, bring […]
Honestly, didn’t hear it coming. Honestly, out of the blue. Maybe I’m just crazy and I don’t know what I do. Wonder if it will ever come back. Wonder if I will let go. Maybe […]
Dozing off in TV clothes. Summer falls into winter’s glow. I made my way backwards through the snow so no one could ever track me down. Play for me, like cool jazz cats. Worry free […]
Like leaves leave, Thursday evening, left wondering. The next me. Almost evening, day is wondering. Why does anything exist? Why does anything happen? Songs sing silently, inside of me. Space falls from the sky all […]
She was standing there, eyeing me down, smiling in the corner. Looking back, I should’ve warned her that I leave myself at times. Looking back, I think I did. I always saw all this coming. […]
‘Untie my mind and show me what I know. Climb on my back, I will bring us all home.’ He stuck his time to shells of snails. Took some time, went off the rails. Called […]
Hey there, perfect soul. Evening, take it slow. You don’t need to run anymore. Hey there, morning girl. Wake up, it’s your world. Find you, free to fly like a bird. To go get what […]
Sparrow spills soul in the stardust. Bliss band’s cookin’ on the water. I made a mountain in the middle of the ocean and none of this really matters. They’re all howling up at the air. […]
The poor boy stands there, it’s six o’clock as he looks up at the ceiling. ‘Oh, mother, where are you? I feel you out there somewhere… I’ve got an idea, I’ll build a rocket. Yeah. […]
She knows all ‘bout tragic. She knows he’s her man. She spins in her whirlpool life, reaching for his hand. She don’t see his magic. She don’t know ‘bout calm. She laughs at the thought […]
See, splash, soar. Back off the boat today, I’m flying. I’ll be captain for a while. Feeling’s so familiar, it’s been such a long time. I left me. Don’t know when, come down just to […]
Second story. First story from this second story balcony. I don’t speak this language. Middle seat, balanced anguish, before I landed. Right by the beach. Wrong turns down memory lane on this balcony. I can’t […]
Didn’t mean lose me on the beach by the border. And I wish I had stayed while she was building surfboards, and more. Watch her smile, create, I’m always late. She said she works too […]
Clouds steeped in puddles, the sun was losing steam. Trees were losing focus, like roots chasing a dream. Fire was in the water, old sand was way up high. Footprints in the distance, I looked […]
Baker, could you tell me what time it is? Doctor, how long I got left? I’m steady, I’m ready when you are. My calendar’s just penciled in. With your pen, I go. I take a […]
Came across an old man that I’ve met before, at the station. Blocked off, filled up, we spoke about dreams, looney bins, my old sins, and then I went on my way. He said boy, […]
See a whole life behind me. Tilt the mirror, sail the road. I’ve got to do this on my own. Oh, sky blue lights behind me. Fix the mirror, feel the heat. Steal the money, […]
Funny how we run when life’s frozen. Easier to get it out when it’s all easy. Lectures with ourselves. At the podium, in the back row at the same time. Not paying attention. Give ourselves […]
One day, I’d love to live where the fringe of the sea collides with the sky. Discover where those colors went, who’s painting? Don’t dissolve these, live where all those colors went, out by the […]
Strung my imagination on a kite watched it take flight, man it was windy. Just beneath the cloud is where I found my place. Just this side of the cloud. It’s all seen, never captured […]
I walked up high on a telephone line. I tripped, didn’t fall, I was flying. Man, I was a plane. Little wire runway, never call my name. Boy, I’ve gone insane. Flutter outside to a […]
Finds polaroids in her pocket on her ride to work. Fingerprint paint that’s stamped on smiles. Love. He’s in the sand, he’s so over the hill. Loses himself, not here, then gone. Now stayed. Twisted. […]
Preachers preach about a person nobody will ever know. They won’t meet him. Think they need him. They’ve done nothing, He’s done all. How ridiculous is that? Give ‘Him’ all the credit. Smile, never shout. […]
From up in my apartment, I look out and see a street. Screams behind me, startling, coming from my TV. Green, tired eyes to windows. Look out, I hear four feet. From frames behind, of […]
Pumps and lungs. Deflated aliens taking up space, so I glide on back to the alley. Dressed their best. Movement, that wonder under confetti. I’ve never had a dream like this. Wonder when I’ll wake […]
Crawling up to easy. Crawling up to free. Crawling up this lifelong path to be what we will be. Bring us back to laughing. Bring us back to smiles. Bring us back to dirt road […]
Walk for years to find me, because I don’t know where I’ve been. I am not where I am right now. All we are is ever falling, until we hit the ground. Running. ‘They already […]
Am I way ahead? Did they already pass? How will I ever make anything last? If I wait for you, will you wait for me? I wrote you a song, but I can’t really sing. […]
It happened again. I snapped. I never realize it until I’m back. That was a week. Did nobody see? Does nobody know they can reach out to me? Normal me, falling so calmly to the […]
I wake up, Pour warm, iced, coffee. Go for my drive. It’s the morning. Windows down, the fresh air suits me. Turn up my songs, it’s my morning. I’ve seen children running around. I’ve seen […]
Not sure how this will end, so I should, at least, begin. Not sure where to go, maybe tomorrow I’ll know. Get ahead, fall behind. Wreck through life. Be so blind. Storm around in a […]
A cup of cold coffee in the morning, to the corner where she decorates dreams. He’d always go down there when he was in town. Down to visit the queen in hopes she’d dance and […]
You keep walking into that wall. Just take a step back. See that door? That door’s to someplace new. Unknown, different, uncomfortable. Kinda like me. Someplace new takes getting used to. What decides on the […]
Out. After the sun. The sun, it won somehow. I was driving home and I caught a shooting star, listening to the wolves on an old album that she sent me. Out. Under the night. […]
He sees hands on one screen, His wires skip to future memories, ‘Stuff me in my time machine and take me to right now.’ She is sorcery. This is so surreal. Time is sorcery. She […]
From another place or from another time, he drove outside to take a stroll in his mind. Makes up he’s a fire. Tells him it’s just rain. ‘Soon’, he says, ‘the light comes back.’ In […]
She pulled him out, she fell right in. She told him just to let her swim. The coffee spilled, it always does, and she got mad because he was. Sometimes it all spills a little […]
I’ll just sit here and watch the sunrise, see what happens. Something’s always happening. They say time is undefeated, do they know I am too? Your realest smile is in your eyes. I can see […]
I’ll take a trolley to my youth, Go do the things I used to do. Those things always got me through and back then this was easy. • I’ll spend a day with my best […]
The TVs on, but there’s nothing on and he can’t sleep. Wonders why the deep end’s on the wrong end and then doesn’t care to care. He likes it that way. Anchors must be allowed […]
Mend me, bend me, break me. Push me ’til I’m the dumbest person in the room. Surround me with genius. Push me out of place so I’ll feel easy and one day, maybe, get some […]
All the, none the, sleep I get. The demons here, they’re so upset. They live next to a cigarette that sleeps above my ear. All the fun that we forget. The memories there, they lost […]
Walk out of this opera, ‘cause I worry that she’ll sing. Wasn’t ready when it started, so what does this really mean? Slide out of this orchestra when my chair sits way up there. It’s […]
Lights blink in the distance and I don’t know why, Imagination says, ‘old smiles saying hi.’ Talk to myself more than you these days, so I look up to the sky. Radio, silence, and another […]
I take my time, but it gets so quiet. Silence. When I get back to normal. Still don’t know what that means. Speak. Give a sign you know you’ll be fine. Bridges sings, ‘take me […]
At times I run away just to get by, even if just for a little while. This is headlights in the fall. This is me putting me into it all. Until I leave this fog […]
I just roam around, wander in my head. Silence, watching sounds. Please, speak to me instead. Little, worn, baby steps to older. Distance bruising souls and growing. Trusting and we go. Always endless love, it’s […]
He’s got feet down beneath his knees. Walks to the water while she’s out at sea. ‘One day, mermaid, take a walk with me.’ He floats his heart up above the trees. Only comes down […]
Life, you bring my people down. Life, you are so deep. Life, you move so slowly, Life, you only steep. Life, you know we’re tired now? Life, just let us breathe. Life, you move like […]
I am not a writer. I am not a light. I am just a little thought moving with the night. I am not a circus. I am not a clown. I am a half-balanced act, […]
Little cow cowboy boots go walking on a belly. Hopping, hoping no one will ever notice. She dances and I’m watching, I wish I was that free. She’s wired, swinging in her jungle. Singing songs […]
He’s not who you say I am. He’s got time on me. He filled up songs for legends, bumbled beaches with the dead. Don’t care, or know, who you think I am. I’d like to […]
You shine. You’re dark. I love the way you shake. You’re fine. You’re smart. I love the way you make it. I didn’t mean to leave us. I didn’t mean to slide. I don’t know […]
Stand outside, soaked grass under the light. It’s not that late, but somehow it’s night. Funny how those things happen. Leaning, breathing, it’s all there is to do. There’s nothing outside of Pittsburgh. Go pray […]
You talk about early, but you’ve never met late. Do you ever wonder why some people stay? You think about dreaming, but don’t get a taste. Do you ever wonder why some people wait? Eat […]
Drop, puddles move. They say, ‘it’s raining.’ I was gonna walk today. I told you I’d break, you said you were crazy. It’s just part of the story. The tale we’ve been writing for ten […]
By a lake, familiar songs behind me. Leaves like school busses climb fire up the siding. Does anyone ever notice? They sit and stand on still water, wind slides, winds, between them. Rock stacked tower, […]
Cupcakes on the floor, the clock reads zero. 6am and I’m waiting to sleep. Goldfish on the counter sit next to no coffee, and I can’t hear them talking. Blue, red, white lights outside an […]
I’ll trash that whole day now. I’m so clear in the mirror and it’s so foggy out, I can’t see a thing. Sliding sideways between three white lines, Songs about your shirt humming in my […]
