I may release something this year full of poems about what I usually write about, but I cannot pretend the strange non-reality I’m awaking from is something I can lash words around.

Dear Mason: Please Stop Making Reality Forever Broken
I get it. I cannot have you. You spent all Summer flirting with me to make a fool of me; I never saw it coming. Except I did. That you still come around to taunt me and rub my face in it is what I now find more mind-bendingly unreal than painful. You’re out of my league, and always were—that I went along with it as long as I did makes me not an emperor who wears no clothes—it makes me…

The Places Who We Are Today
Well, no, we are not Jews, but we Do know the same God—four letters, Mr. Quattro, Quad Fourier, Four. Yeah—way, way out there— We are the Thirteenth Tribe and where We belong is anywhere but Israel. The sun never sets on Thirteenth soil; The house of the rising sun rests upon our midnight dawn. Bullet of absolute heat and prayer cold and blue and Absolute zero—Kelvin, Kevin, Calvin,…

Canonical Quotes: Rainer Maria Rilke

Ripping Out Pages
Ripping out pages plucking them one by one—leaves or days—of my life, and the leaves on the tree outside are a dying generation this Winter—every Winter… And life is a prayer formed with the lips of a lifetime of slow time, of waiting to die, and the act of dying is just like saying “amen,” and I took the hymnal and I’ve been ripping out pages…

Battle For The Author's Soul
Battle For The Author’s Soul

The chords of music were strewn about my little bitty room like corpses, beats and rhythms looked up at bedside nurses with pleading…
