Tattoos and Piercings – Journal 10/2/17
My opinion on the two title matters has been a thing of variance since high school. I used to be super not into the idea of anything of the sort, and this was for a few reasons that will surely lead up to some cool moral at the end of this journal.
Back in high school, people with any kind of body mods were dead ringers for deadbeats. People with very anti-social interests would commonly get them as a form of rebellion rather than a demonstration or expression. Things seem so easy as putting...

House of Wolves
You live still
You live now
In a desert home
Away from
The city
Now you roam
Reality pelts
Draped over
As clothes
Obsidian heads
Sharp on
Memory arrows
A bow you draw quick
To shoot
From experience
So the memory
Hunts
What reality is
Bows have been drawn
With each
Wolves’ last breath
A house of
Their pelts
Safe and secure
A house of wolves
In the desert
Where you now roam
A hidden estate
Among
Shifting sands
That bury the bones
Of
Reality packs
A pack of wolves buried
For a house
To be built
F...

Cloud Complex – Journal 9/28/17
And of course, the two last classes I’m taking at Pierce I get classes with the “smart guy”. Oh, yes, you know who I’m talking about.
The unaware, inquisitive pricks that sit in the far back of the room and ask (of their own accord) “random, unrelated” questions. Effectively, they put a leech on time in a class I’ve paid quite a bit of money for. In high school, these types are great fun. I was one of them!
But in college, oh man, in college. This is great. Already I’ve found nine separate...
Probably Poisoned
Sitting across from
Nightmares
And shaking
While I’m sipping
Licorice tea
That they
Made for me

Amoral
Invasion upon invasion
Of her forces
Smash against the
City walls
One by one
Our archers fall
To flaming arrows
That kill ’em all
Black hearted hero
Brave hearted evil
We are all
We are all we are
I can be a bad guy
They can be the good ones
Ramming our gates
We’re under siege
Climbing the stone
Their destiny
And ours is one
That puts an end to them
Storming the fields, now
We’re flesh and metal
Swords and shields with
Steel boots on the ground
Steel boots
Ground and pound
We are amoral
Fight...

Disintegration
Mites inside
Rotting wood
A fire set in
Another wing
Combining with
Crumbling drywall
A choking sawdust
Mixed together
With the rust
Of negligence
Bitter taste of
Blood iron
Coats the mouth
With film strips
Come home
To ruin

Poikilothermal Special – Rehashed
[image error]
While the Mount Si series has a wide umbrella of poems under its shadow (fucking wordplay, yes), today I’m going to zoom in on a set of three I wrote to the sound of a single song. Poikilothermal, Poikillmethermal, and Poised To Kill Me Thermally. Let’s start with the beginning!
Before we go any further, the song I have in mind is “Kill Me” by Xilent, and here’s a bit of background on what meaning it has to me. So back in August of last year, 2016, I was housesitting th...

Right at the focal point, right when I’ve moved the camera, a little painting forms.
