Realistic rooftops chime in from a dream.Until I talk to you, I won’t ever be me.Jerry stumbles through,he’s looking on the bright side. I’ve gotta go if I’m gonna stick around.We’ve gotta crawl if we’re […]

He was at half emptyNow, a quarter full“Look at all these dreams I’ve chasedand memories that I’ve pulled.” He was half past emptyHe was done with air“I have gone and come so far,the darkness doesn’t […]

Weird hearing what people heard.All the stories, what’s the word?Kept to yourself for a few years.Motor’s running, still no fear.Walking out to crystal clear. Learn what you’re up to from others.Best, best keep to yourself,only […]

What would you do the same?What is your favorite mistake? Why have some enjoyed it?Why do some avoid it? We weather disaster whether we’re ready or notWe know what we’re after, knowing it’s ready or […]

She was dancing on bed.He stood, up in his head.She flew outside and followed her sun.He learned to walk after he learned to run,watched her follow her sun. Hiding the pages. That was then and […]

Dream in starlit hammocksStillness with a breezeFade into a sunsetYou are the words and they are these –I’d rather be writing with you right here next to me. Writing roads that will connect us.Riding waves […]

Blue floor, wood legs, six feet, and some wonder. What’s time in black and white?What’s life if black and white?Slouching, out of tune.These strings they’re just not right,I ought to add some color. Pressure presses […]

Stuck on the sun,a flower does another daywearing shades as she tracks won. Loyal to a star,a shadow spills another “wait”.Yellow prays, “stay near where you are.” Withering from watching.Cut these, I’ll get to the […]

Bitter glitter shines on lost times,sticks around for ages.Knitters chitter rocking oak chairs,notice when we’re ancient. Find it when we’ve faced it,realized, and erased it.The sparkle in the darkness. Hearing Beatles buzz on fools and […]

Cold train runningCoal train gunningColtrane hummingA scene right out of my mind Framed family flips the bird,smiles above a fireplace at the old place.Lady, you’re one of a kind. Stir up a little quietKick up […]

I was walking a dirt lotto find my future muse,a bag of wild in my pocket. Dogs, like us, roamed around without care.Locks below waist wasted over there.Swear I’d never seen so many fingers in […]

Looking back,she was leaping off rainbow road.Natural reaction to something he wrote. Looking back,she had been there on Wednesdays a while.“Natural reaction to something..” she smiled. he can callhe can’t leave a messagewhen he hears […]

All four seasons changed that day. Circle this lake, hum a movie theme.Wonder if she gets what they mean.It’s everything. Coasting these days.Memories brood in painand when that feeling leaves,those thoughts? They go away.Blown away […]

Frozen fountain night night.Tacos these days, not cake.I’m making up storiesthat planes are dancing in the desert. Two tap, trio sings soul.Sheep stands and stares, “they’re there.”I’m making up storiesthat plains will dance in the […]

Ladybug there, stands staring at me.I listen to my chest and I hear things so differently.Sitting in the present, waiting on no idea. Evening bird there, ho-humming at me.I listen around this old town, I […]

Leaves were shakingA soul was screamingHe spilled it all that day Left foot walking on the snare, near a sidewalk,he hears of motorcycles while they’re sweepingIt’s a desert Swore he found armor on the groundTold […]

What about a new heart?One that I cannot outsmartWhat about a new brain?This thing drives us all insane What about a new brain?One that blocks all of the rainWhat about a new heart?This thing doesn’t […]

You lick it. Open, get out, and close your door.Walk to the blue box and drop it in the drawer.The heart wasn’t big enough.You hope they pick the middle one.Looking back, you wish you’d put […]

After breakfast checks the boxes,bends at the belt to see if they’ve been checked out.Twelve block walks like clockwork,dreams of slow motion shooting stars.They said words never got nobody too far.He never had the words […]

We sat on a couch together years before we met.Hadn’t experienced the things we’d forget.I bet you don’t remember that day. What if when you get to it,you wander way back west.Pick up ahead of […]

Feel my arms, I’m not squawkingWatch the man kick on the throneNo one near, there’s no talkingBut I don’t think I feel alone The bed and the bookshelfCarpet, paws to the rightInterrogated self for ten […]

I’ll never write a catchy songI sit down and it’s all goneFeel in my limbs lives something wrong If it’s driftingLift me, my soulI’ll shine in anonymity We went waysto look at what we’re made […]

I’m stableUnstable?Only constantly trip on my cableSomebody plug me in Cord coiled, burning.Tin tanned, learning.Waiting’s not processingFlip, flick it, just turn me on. A doubt-drought brought socks I bought,got thrown to the snow, now tossed […]

Danced on a seesaw and somehow both got tossed Where is your floor?Where is my ceiling?What leads to that?Anger or healing? Quiet leaves so many questions Breathe inDeep for meSo I can see Look inDeep […]
