Tell me to writeNot typeSo I don’t lose it Held backspace, I spaced it.Replaced it.Like I didn’t know what I mean.I swear sometimes that’s everything. It’s changed so many times, I don’t know where to […]

Lost in the Evening
She’s more than a warrior,she’s a wizard’s queen.She’s the only one he’s foundwith any idea what he means. Down walking she was beaming.Corners of her smile hit the sky.You could get lost in her evening. […]
Fear and There
Grown from talks, rows of washplaying in the sand.Catching three ancient seasdripping from a hand. Thrown from here, bursts of fearflutter in the night.Hitting four closing doors,never taking flight. Walks with the water to the […]
Ball of Cheese
I’d walk a mountain, I’d scale a moon,I’d do anything for another float or two. Meet me in a corn maze.Meet me in a fire.Meet me at the airport or somewhere on the wire. A […]
Day 5678
Music goesWorry showsQuestioning what’s next It could’ve been handled differently.You mocked it and we lost this.Your orange is peeling.Your hair? I don’t have the word. Uncertainty, it’s killing me.This was a dream I dreamt up […]
Questions I Had
What happens when the world skids?Why don’t they ever flip their lid?Has this moved on to come back or go on?Did you get that song?Has it been too long? Who’s in charge around here?Why don’t […]
Showdown at the Deep End

Accidentally East
Hey who ordered who?Was it me? Was it you?A table in Texas, I was so confused. Tucson, I left it behind me.Texas? Nowhere near on the way to Flag.Texas? Around five hours til I’m home.It’s […]
Hear
Said you say you’ll do things you don’t do.Said when I get to me, I will show you. Thought you left yourself and your old brilliant mind.Thought if I slowed down I’d get so left […]
Nightmares and Vanilla
Fly stops by, thinkin’ not sure why I did this.This man reeks of awful, nightmares, and vanilla. Fly swings in, thinkin’ he didn’t just say that…This man speaking’s awful, nightmares, and vanilla. Decaf cover of […]
Slowing
I’d skate into a blizzard if it meant slowing down.Drive thru,just a blizzard,cool me off for a while. I’d swim onto a highway if it meant moving time.Shed thoughton the highway,bring me here for a […]
Trying to Make a Movie
Four feet up a river, seeking out a spring.Gazing at the times that passedand what the future’d bring. Cobain sang, he was driving.Dirt road, beside him, she was trying to make a movie.Rock city rolled […]
October Second Skies
Few miles from last known pavementStars, they tap the skyAsk it where the day wentThe sky asks why not why? This city sleeps while he writes about night.Silence breathes, takes in everything it needs.It said […]
