Our Esque

Bare bodies
Dog tags

Idle clink
Idyll sink
Of heat

As our brands
Gravitate
And demand
To touch

Two murmurs
In our
Heartbeats
Yearning
Conquering
The other

Ramadan
Memorial
Some weekend
Shanghaied

Cigarette smoke
Swirling sunset
And we’re only
Protected

By our marks
Our murmurs
Our esque
Dog tags

Clashing
Jingling
Moving
Together

Like waves
In an ocean
And you’re
A rowboat on
My bay

Jingling
Parallel
Mingling
As I sink
Into you
And you rise
With me

Doberman Pinschers

Clomping down the stairs
Before you even see them
Turn the key and
Open the door

Wagging little nubs of tails
Sweet faces
So excited to see you home
With smiling

Orangey-brown beards
And bellies on slim
Black bodies of short fur

As they trot around
Grumbling and yawning
With floppy ears
And bright hazel eyes

Excited to see you home

Reset to Stock Assets – Journal 7/8/17

Grief in my life has come in waves every once in a while. I can normally track it like the phases of the moon (wow, how fucking edgy of me), and sometimes it reaches out like a rogue wave to capsize whatever high I’ve been on.

I’m currently housesitting, which is giving me time to think again, and when that happens for a long time I of course get around to thinking of everything.

Let me set a stage for you.

In August of last year, I had been jobless for 8 months. I was in the midst of scrapin...

Quarryan

Seeds sprinkled
Upon crushed
Toppled
Marble columns

Like a rash,
Mossy saplings
Have
Spread, and a plant

Quarry an

Immense ruin
Finer than
Vines sent to
Reclaim the land

Once grand
A temple stone silver
Quarry and
Now an arcane figure

With an
Infinite lifespan

To Do It

You’ll catch my cold with
That tempting, sexy, want talk.
I’m sick; you don’t care.

KETAMINE

Dark khaki
Crumbling
Ketamine
Toffee

Hue cycling
Heat mapping
Feather head

People talking
Up to its
Effects

Like it’s nobility

Small
Cube
Melting
In
My
Mouth

Tasteless

Don’t remember
What the
Others said

Khaki, crumbling
Toffee ketamine

Helicopter Crash – Journal 7/6/17

Every fucking action movie that features any kind of god damn helicopter (except for the first Matrix movie) sees the chopper get taken the fuck down. This is a problem.

In my last journal I discussed how I didn’t understand how to transition scenes when I was 8 years old, so I would knock the protagonist unconscious and have them wake up in a different scene. That was how I did transitions. CGI for helicopters must be so damn cheap, every fucking action film with them in it makes them blow u...
