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 […]
