Campfire breeze, jackets, a walk.Distant, a heart, like the prey that it stalks. Next to the sea, sundress, a walk.Two calendar years since we last talked. She’s home on the road.She’s an evening’s daydream.I’ve never […]

A motel lot near LAX had me questioning reality.A thrown out back, but I’ll call backwith time, if I’m not still busy. See how much has been missed.To not know where we live.We crawled and […]

Thirty-two paws pouring everywhere, flood from holes in the old lot. Walking up while they’re vibing. Catching up on what’s been hiding. Can’t tell what’s under the words. Six years since I left the jungle. […]

A master of misplaced chaostrickling up the streetlike distance chasing closer. A brewer of boastful breakdownstrips across the wireas chapters catch their sentence. Not quite where he wants to be.Tires leave a flat city,seeking somewhere […]

Questions sling to silence,buzzing like rockets at best.Honing in on happy, ignoring all the rest. Reckoning of wonder,humming like sunshine soothes ice.Bringing up the good times when everything was nice. Looking up, are you?Are you […]
