Autumnreach

Autumnlenses
To look through
When hills run
Too verdant

I have a deathwish…
Nay, I have six!
For the evergreen trees
Better off an abyss

In painted forests
Sinking deep underground
As impassable valleys in
Blackest kingdom reaches

Stood upon
Beaches of ash
I see igneous wrath
On every oak and pine branch

Deathwish manifests
As arson to the arson
As hotter than sun
Scorches before the hunt

From a gale in the skies
Charring the clouds
And chasing down the
Summer colors

Snapchat

You’re a spearfishing surgeon
Looking for that sturgeon
Hiding in me
Behind a lobotomy

Warm Cookie

In that coffeeshop
Where for years
Once
You were inspired

I arrived to seek
To slake
And take
That muse

Lithium Autumn – Rehashed

This poem was a weird one. Not just for the title of “Lithium Autumn” (the fuck is that?) but for its inspiration and how it actually turned out. What’s cool to me is that creativity turns on from whatever tap you want it to. This tap was turned from Artificial Intelligence and ancient intelligence.

If you don’t wish to have another interpretation stuck in your head, read the poem at the link below first! If not, forge ahead!

Overshot, one might say. Instead of being an instagram food photographer I’m a RR.C food photographer! Pumpkin pie is delicious.

Shell of It All

We were to purge
But you were
Way ahead
Of me

A room with its
Narcotic art
Had already
Been emptied

I was too late
To go

Where the wild
Doses grow

Sitting in my kayak for an hour to grab a good shot of the sunset to share. This was one of them.

Will

It’s when the stars
Fade with rising dawn

My plate armor
Is dented
And punctured

Bloody and ruined

Sword and shield
Drop from hands
Fatigued, I keel

With broken endurance
And no longer will
Find a mythic will
To avenge myself

Yet you will

Take the weaponry
And dawn the visage
I once wore

Fighting a freakish foe
In my name

Fierce and fiery
A haze
Passion on display

A will to be feared
A fury in soul flame

Heavy Hair – Journal 9/18/17

My hair is getting to the point where it’s insufferably unruly. It’s at this point in its growing cycle where I have to either cut it ASAP or commit to growing it out. So I gotta get it cut soon.

I remember a year ago it was the last thing I wanted to do: cut my hair. For some reason I used my locks as something to identify with. I didn’t wear a cape like a superhero, people recognized me by my hair. I cut it last October to satisfy the job requirement to work at Green River College. What a f...
