Minotaur Ichor

While we observed
Curfew roll by
Hours ago we knew

That Bigfoot Java
Was open
Twenty-four seven

And they sold
Coffee and energy
At three a.m.

So we made a stop
When we were sleepy
Back to your place again

Familiar creaking floors
Only been here once
Before

Drinking blood of the
Minotaur
This raspberry ichor

How the hell
Did I get here
Lost in the labyrinth

Tacoma night
Slipping away with
Morning birds

Now the tides have
Turned, no longer
Surviving, but thriving

Promo – Journal 9/3/17

Finally found myself in a headspace to get into writing “That Bellingham Girl”. This business of writing to remember means that I can never really forget. It sucks in some ways but in others it’s fantastic. You find out what can get to you, and what stakes there are when it comes to the people in your life.

I’m moving in with people I reconnected with through work. I was able to kill some pretty deep inner demons by contacting the demons themselves this summer. By going to places of hard-root...

Expeditionary Division – Journal 9/1/17

So I think it’s set. Wow. Ready to move out? Sure. But… wow. It’s finally happening. Something else in a good direction.

Went to go check the place out with my roommate today. And there was a fucking copy of Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy on the shelf in the model. Like it was meant to be. So that’s a thing. By the end of the year I will have a new headquarters. It’s not often you move out on your own for the first time.

And with a blink, August is gone. I tend to differentiate the eras in my li...

There’s hope in the autumn at the bottom of a cup.

Ten Hours

Italian desserts in an afternoon waterfront sun breaking down the chains that bound ships to the piers we walk along

Walking for miles for no particular reason and with dusk we turn to cruising all around the county aimlessly

When we kiss you taste so good like a sweet medley as you roll around as words in my mouth and everything else stops

A 24/7 coffee shop that mixes energy drinks isn’t all it takes to keep me from zombifying as I’m still entranced

Strange how after two years it comes down...

This place is enamoring. Massive like a self-sustaining spaceship, or a lonely city in the desert.
