If you’re always awake, you’re never gonna wake up. Go to sleep. Get some dreams. Wake up, don’t chase aimlessly. Coffee on the bedside. I can’t seem to sleep right. I’m so calm, I never […]

Check The Mirrors (1/2020)
Lily pads listen to the wind’s drowning whisper, wondering why not slow to a stop? Only observing, won’t say a thing. Miles away, I’m walking down the side streets, past half pipes and tongue tossed […]
Grado Dreams (1/2020)
Morning walk around man made water. Reflecting on words she’d spoken. Glimmering light of a smile. Gotta be ten feet quacking, flapping, floating in time. Feathers weather the weather, hanging, catch dreams together. They ride […]
Sing The Moving (1/2020)
Days dreaming of places you’ll go get you nowhere, you know. We can do anything. Somebody rent this movie reel, pull it from the shelf. Swear sometimes it just starts playing when I am by […]
Two-Putt Hole In One (1/2020)
Purple stops just before it rolls into a house, summer days in winter. She caught fire just that side of the gate then fluttered, more people than last year. ‘These trees, they don’t belong here,’ […]
Seasons Swing (1/2020)
Balcony under me. Live and see, go listening. Out of reach on the beach. Wondering if waves are free. Mountains left craters, didn’t know where to turn. Oceans ran to rivers, only to watch them […]
Conductor in the Caboose (1/2020)
Two leaves danced off a tree to get down, see what’s out there. Tangoing, different speeds, to build crowns, get some fresh air. Two drops left on a train to move on, felt all they’d […]
Prairie Tale (1/2020)
The morning in the attic, where life pours it’s porridge into static, sparking a flame. The shadows in the lightning, where warmth wins in winter when its biting, firing up home. Give a sign, hidden […]
Crooked Attic (1/2020)
Tuesday’s filled organizing the pantry in my mind. Walked to things I’d left behind. Sorted, sort of, thoughts bubbling like soda in a pale paper bag. All of the things that I once had. I’ve […]
Tiptoe Dreams (1/2020)
Gently float around a little ball in space, trying to have an impact. Inspire a little taste. Up there, watching the planets. Down here, right about where I am. I’ve never done some things that […]
Coffee Stained Sunset (1/2020)
She’s the blinds which I turn day and night, altering it all. She’s the kite that I fly wind will bite, but never break this line. I understand it all, I really do. Time’s a […]
Shoes Off, Please (1/2020)
Just a waste of space. This thing has no use. That thing could be anyone, just a couple of shoes. Such a lazy thing. Cannot find it’s groove. Anyone could tie that lace. What happens […]
Wonder Out a Window (1/2020)
Grinning, spinning on a tube. Smile and say ‘what is it with you?’ Gotta bring me with me when I move. Slipping, tripping on the moon. Lean in, laugh, and roll off the roof. Something […]
San Francisco Ceilings (1/2020)
Maybe I’m just rollin’. Maybe I’m just fine. Maybe I’m just gettin’ older, like this shamrock bottle of wine. They said he was crazy. They said he was done. They said he was takin’ his […]
Walking To Sleep (12/2019)
In deep water, clam. Bubbling liquid will be the beginning of us, we thought we had what we’re after. It seeps, calmer, slam. Sizzling bubble bursts on the air it doesn’t trust, we thought we […]
Funny Things Just Happen (12/2019)
I got lost in fix me pills. Pour your artwork over me. I’ll find love in listening hills. Pour your body over me. Live inside. Speak to only you. Loud outside. Hearing only truth. Let […]
