Month: March 2019
Time to Space (3/2019)
Friendly, frightened, rocket ship gliding past the sand. Little silhouette of me sinking in my hand. Righteous raindrops find themselves, take off to the sky. Spinning pirouettes and webs, dripping as they climb. Together at […]
Thoughts from a Moon (3/2019)
What if truth is make believe? There’s so much curiosity. What if the moon speaks to stars and asks them how they’re where they are? How is it that I can be, with all of […]
Pairing Thunder (3/2019)
Bold, fragile and empty. Plastic, porcelain clowns. They cover up nothing with makeup and gowns. Shouts startle what’s calming. Molded, money and ties. Selling night nothing but self-serving lies. Loud said enough, it’ll say some […]
Ripped Wrap (3/2019)
He beats himself up too much, but he’s tough and he doesn’t know how to punch. Walks straight lines outside, inside his mind they’re circles. Inside’s all wound up, circles. Inside walking circles. Roundabout back […]
Color It In (3/2019)
Sit at the end of this lopsided bed, stare at my shoes and I say ‘what’s the use, it’s just walking.’ Sidewalk’s still cool, ten toes tip by the pool, she roams my head, so […]
The Same (3/2019)
You begin, you only listen. You begin, you haven’t missed it. You begin, you’ll be ok. Without expectations, you won’t go astray. You be young, you have some fun now. You be young, you have […]
Light Ears (3/2019)
Strutting ‘round this town of mind. Swimming down a street. Drowning in an easy smile, the happiness I see. Hanging up a frame of mind Looking down at me. Staring into distant eyes, blinking suddenly. […]
Unfinished (2/2019)
Half hundred half read books smoking on his floor. Staring, wondering how they would have ended. Doesn’t finish anything. He kicked his wheel, built it up and she wrecked it. Make way for this gem. […]
Black and White Window (2/2019)
Letting go of life’s handles, she lights darkness a candle. Crawling into bed, love, brighter shades of blues, dreaming in her head. Fine, art, softly painted side. Love, floating like she’s always been there, like […]
Hand of a Lifetime (2/2019)
Seventy finger table, wide eyed spark. Wait for night to smile, and then I cut the cards. Living, breathing, cold hands, fixing futures. Always figured they knew what they were doing. Always figured they’d figure […]
Jackets in Dreams (2/2019)
Life on a burner boils over, steaming a wooden spoon. Running late in a snow globe, going nowhere, right now, soon. Face in a fireplace, laughing at myths as they freeze. Things we once believed. […]
Something About Santa Fe (2/2019)
Leon’s singing on shining. Nina sprinkles soul while I’m gliding by my oven, the way she’s been doing it for years. Scratching through that stereo. So I sing back, again. Let you find your freedom. […]
