My god is a song. Off-notes, letting demons throw down. Working toward my favorite version. My god is a song. Skipped hits, little lies for no reason. Working toward an early version. Sometimes the song […]

Finally Thoughtless (4/2019)
Light struts, bringing deep darkness brighter words. Lifetimes listening, but never heard. Who would talk so loud? Why the grand performance? Sap, soft, delicate, dangles from a tree. Sweetness seeping, still or moving. Can’t tell. […]
Deep Rest (4/2019)
Set my head down here, come back when I’m ready. Forget me. Set my heart down here, come back when it’s ready. Forget me. What don’t I remember? What can’t I forget? Where’d that morning […]
Sailing (4/2019)
She was lightning in slow motion. What we think we’re needing. I sold my soul and it killed me. The wind is her, I hear it. So, why isn’t she near me? She was icing […]
A Million Chucks (4/2019)
Money doesn’t grow on trees. Money blows on down the street and I got a buck now. Guess I feel like Chuck now. Loving doesn’t ever leave. Loving stays inside of me, and I don’t […]
Space, like Everything (4/2019)
Way out there, crossing every line, a sun set and every color commenced their rhyme. There wasn’t a feeling of time, like we’d always been there. We don’t know what’s gonna be right, but we […]
Fixing Noodles (4/2019)
Do you know where we left off? Backyard, just left of the neighbors place. Outside, old house, same little table I’m at now, you were gone. You went out flying. Brilliance rides the wind. Bottle […]
Bowman’s Log (4/2019)
Leave us where we left off. Leave from where we started. Steady this ship with wild, selfless wind. Take us where we’re ready. Take, from us, that thinking. Secure this sail with warm, reckless wind. […]
Time Stands Still, Laughing (4/2019)
Some time, in the distance, standing still, laughing about all of this. Something, this for instance. Ticking and moving out from under this. Looking back at the present, it seems we’d lost control, we didn’t […]
My Own Gospel (4/2019)
A little peace and quiet, let the leaves stay. No need to always be blowing them away. They’re leaves, they’re like me, they’ll come back. I gotta write my own gospel. I’ve never understood anything […]
Weird Books (4/2019)
I’m blacking out, I’m buying weird books. I’m floating on pools, I’m giving weird looks. I’m stacking up pounds, I’m shrinking like dreams. I’m tumbling inside, though balanced I seem. Tried to book a room, […]
Slowing Rockets for Nothing (4/2019)
Every morning, clumsy hands spilling coffee on my pants. Sound of music, cracking eggs. Differ calls, I never beg. Out the window, simmered light. Watching day give up the fight. Weekday evening, jump on bed. […]
A Little Bit (4/2019)
I was drowning and I didn’t even know it. I was dying and I couldn’t ever show it. All I thought I needed, a little bit of the top shelf. Closed my eyes at night. […]
Types of Stereos (4/2019)
Boy, where you been? Our world’s been spinnin’ without you. Boy, where you been? You know, I’ve been worried about you. Boy, where’s your head? You know, I’ve been dreamin’ about you. Boy, where’s your […]
If I’m Asleep (4/2019)
Show me life, I’ve got all day. Why is it that there is hate? Show me how we got to this, and all the things that we dismissed. Show me, man, you can’t just say. […]
