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 […]

Shit baby a backfireDang lady a breezeAlways getting what you want, never what you need Whoa brother a blowoutDude monster that’s greedAlways doing what you want, never what we need I saidBe careful who you […]

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 […]

Backyard dreamer dreams up scenesPurple pastry people preenThey say boy you’ve shown your shineWhat happened to all the wonder? Naive know-how wags its tailPlastic postcard people wailThey say boy you’ve cooked your clockWhy don’t you […]

Keep your coffeeKeep your pillsGive me sleep and bring back thrill Keep my memoryKeep my smileGive me me and I will fly These paths we’ve wandered, tracks we’ve leftRails we ride to hasn’t happened yetBring […]

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 […]

Portland for the holidayLost, crawling back to the cityCracked a good heart in a small townNo cares, oh my, what a pityIn a pan, another breakfast Ice cream and a record store.Ananas limb trembled that […]

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 […]

A lesson, from the baker on the corner, on spaceI was him and you were meSpace meets time eventuallyFuture bright with sunny things Time. Time. Time. Worth it takes time.Put people in timeout to take […]

Silent a whileWatchingSo soon I can do anything And I’ve learned how to speak Make me the dumbest guy and we’ll be alright.I will write the lights.Stay up late at night.Watch you make the drive.Mitigate […]

Yesterday I feel I fellToday, I can’t recall too wellCounting, Jimmy, there aloneDodging highways driving home What will happen when you fall?Will you drink it? Burn it all?Standing, sitting, can’t sit down?Take some time for […]

Blasting offIt’s eight o’clock and I gotta get this day goingBlasting offGo for a walk down the same street I strolled yesterday Why am I this way? Wrapped around the corner,through the grass and the […]

Sat down and grooved. I moved.Engrained is the first time I saw you.A night that changed my life. Got down, I moved. You grooved.Enshrined is the first time I heard you.A line that changed my […]

I need a nice rug that I don’t care aboutVacuum up this dirtso there’s no more sweeping on saturdays. That only leads to flipping fluttering thoughts. I’ve always seen who is who they seem.I don’t […]

I don’t know why it showed up that day,a creek and a canyon may have altered my way.I don’t know, something changed. Looking back, it really wrecked meTossed my course to lost and aloneAfraid meets […]

Something magic ‘bout walking in the eveningSliding white lights and I can’t hear a thing.I suppose maybe the singing,or maybe that’s just me. Coasting, I pen a letter to me in my mind.A list of […]

I have only a penny, so I’m putting it on the tracks.Departing dead-end sunshine,I’ve heard that way there’s no going back. Train man, I’m leaving my mindto gather smooth stones on the bluffwhile Wisdom, laughing, […]

No flickering,Flipping on fake candles outside these days.It’s cheaper that way.I don’t remember being Classy. You oughta hear the things I tell myself to tell myself.All these unreads that live on that shelf.Where do I […]

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 […]

The circus doesn’t dance these days.The circus hasn’t lost its way,it’s just not the same without you. A tired tightrope tries sleepingwhile clowns close up after sweeping the ground,afternoons pleasing the crowd.One more end of […]

Raindrops, my thoughtsI’ve never known where they come from I was thinking of you when you thought about meWhat happens when I cross your mind? Welcoming warmth when I read ‘truly’A reason for only half […]
