Potential

This is too fucking cool to let go
Out with someone I haven’t seen
In nearly two years
How the fuck did I end up

Passenger in someone else’s story?

A Murder Over Gonzaga – Journal 8/30/17

I knew as soon as I saw what happened I was going to write about it.

I knew the killer, not the victim, and that tells me more of the story than I could experience in interviewing the dead. Today I mourn the loss of what the media is already calling the “victim” or the “driver” instead of giving the humanity that journalism fails to lend itself to. Gagandeep Singh. We’ve lost a great mind.

At the hands of this murder was someone I went to high school with. Had art projects with. Saw in the ha...

Like it’s shadowed in a veil, coy to the senses.

Dry Blood

Jagged leaf edges
Crisping with
Heat of frictious
Ultraviolence

As stabbed by
Serrated
Switchblades of sun
And shade

They burn
And ebb away
Puddles in gutters
By wind to blow

Of dusk
And shadow

Wine drenched bark
And branches hark
To coming dawn
Near dark

As wine turns whiter
And cresting light further
Set upon autumn
To drench in more fire

In umber clad
Cutting amber can
Reverse twilight
Sparking near dark

Leaves in their drains
Meant for storms
Now shimmer with dew
Cloaking their forms

For...

Serration
Fleece of forests
Boreal place
Twilight rift

Mythic mass
Boreal place

Cold flash
Mountain pass
Ancient sun
Mythic mass

Giant of granite
Cold flash
Cloud splash
Ancient sun

Sharp summits
Giant of granite
Dimensions
Cloud splash

Fleece of forests
Sharp summits
Twilight rift

A Moment To Myself – Journal 8/27/17

Housesitting is happening again, but man that is the least of what’s been going on since the last journal. This is why I’m happy I have this thing. People might like to hear about this!

First thing’s first, I fixed up my car again. Thankfully my passenger was already gone by the time it overheated somewhere in Fife. Friday at about 6 pm, traffic in certain sections of Pierce County really bottleneck. My car was in a certain condition where it would dramatically overheat if I left it idle for...

Meyer

We played a game of life
Improperly

I was a therapist
And you were breaking down

“Let’s go on a date”, you say
And we watched The Great Gatsby

And went out to coffee
Later that day

Three years later
We might just

Do it again
Intentions back

Let’s duel
And see who wins

Blueshifted

Petrichor threatens to
Bloodlet from the sky
On a June morning

Cloudy pre-stormy
Quiet history
Post-dawn

Blueshifted
Currents relax
And slow

Ivy rain
Sees
Violence

It’s a summer’s
Cold
Shadow

Sharing Myself With You Again

Pulling me into the bath
By my dogtag chain

Kissing me deeply
As the water is disturbed

I fall with you

We’re submerged
In the outside tension

Being with you
Is this dream’s new life

Another path
Another tease

Another fucked up
Fantasy

As I awake to no bath foam
But to in my bed alone

Stuck with only another
Fake memory

When the exposure is just high enough, everything starts to vibrate with energy.
