Dunmaglass – Journal 2/7/18

We’re doing audio now! Hell yeah! I went out and bought a Blue microphone, a lovely Yeti, and it’s being my fucking grand champion of the arena. Broadcasting now first to Soundcloud, and soon to iTunes!

I’ve had a lot of tiny victories in the audiosphere so far. First of which, is no small victory, but I’ve gotten permission from Kauf to use music in my broadcasts! Which is immense! I sent an email with a hope and some faith, and the man himself replied to me. I am still so intensely starstru...

Styx

When tears of joy
Evaporate
They make the clouds
Of heaven we love upon

No thing taken
For granted
But hopes and wishes
That appear in our sleep

We feel it on the blankets
That we bleed upon
When we run red into
Rivers and emerge empowered

An Awful, Awful Drink That Looks Pretty

[image error]

Shot with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS; f/5.6; 1/25; ISO-400; 18mm. 1/15/2018 12:38 PM.

This was the worst thing I ever drank. Worse than kombucha. It looked pretty, but it didn’t taste great. Too bad I got what I asked for.

Low-Key

Hot cheeto dusts
A sushi burrito

Sticky rice
And
Seaweed spiral

Filled with crab
Spicy tuna, raw
And salmon

Yellow onions
Help to
“Shoyu the Way”

Spicy
Sensational
Low-key

Match-Struck

Woke up this morning
Saw the rising sun
Set over foothills and build
An empire inland

It set an island
Of drought
On fire and slashed
The trees down

It scarred the sand
Black and painted
Lines on
Sunshot roads

Driving down Palm Ave
And doing burnouts on Boulder
Savage sprints on the 10
And down Base Line

80 in a 50
Past the deserts
On new bridges built
Every five years

That’s the
Speed of the sun
What an S2K can do
In a weekend

Sunshot in a haze under
California clouds
Drinking smog
And breat...

Ferric Frost

Sunrises
Every which one
I miss
When it’s freezing
On your roof

And you’re sitting there
Looking at the rising radiance
In pink and orange and
Finally yellow to white

To make the atmosphere
Glow its awesome cobalt
Yet to bring warmth
But it already brings light

To dawn away the dusk
And your gorgeous amber
Eyes crack with the cold
Like glass globes of the world

Cheeks turn colors of fall
Blushing with the ferric frost
Of a clear sunrise morning
While you gaze at a star

The same one we’ve both...
