Dark Synth

With you
What I want to do

Is do some yoga
And smoke hookah
Want to drive out
For some shawarma

An urban gaze
Your look, your feel
This near dark phase
I’ll feel always

Burning some incense
When we slow down
Wherever we
Call home now

Stars on fire, the
Sky a haze
Wonderful cosmic
Static blaze

And our shadows
On the blacktop
Passing city
Storefronts by

With you these
Days are different
But I wouldn’t
Ask why

Because with you
What I want to do

Is do some yoga
And smoke hookah
Gonna drive out

Raincense

Sinking through the fog
Bog of a swamp
In a diving helmet
Humidity 100%
So thick I sink
Like a fishhook
Flying droplets splash
Five feet off the ground
It’s warm and wet
Dank air on my breath
Traversing the mist
Like the blank spots
On a map
Hot wind runs moist
Like sweat they
Bead and run
Muggy mossy
Raincense
Plant shocked blacktop
Sickeningly sweet
Thunderstruck scent
Leaking from rough seas
In the sky
Like tumbling clouds
Swelling up
And
Falling down

This Moment

This is fleeting
You’ll be gone soon
But I feel as though
I enjoyed this too much
For it
To end

Public Speaking

Harness the ticks
And clicks of voice
Your nervous bits

Calm

And let it charge you

Just A Dream

Running in a dream
After waking in your room

Sunlight pouring in
Through an open curtain window

I am here secretly
And your dad is
Coming upstairs

I’d love to sit here and adore you
But there isn’t any time
Because I’ve got to run or hide

This is such a thrill

I’m so happy while I’m in flight
At least I woke up by your side

Head is fully over heels
Falling to your balcony

Deadow

Dry dead drab
Yellow fields
Of stiff stalks
Of short grass

Memories To Be Made – Journal 6/16/17

Five years ago I never would have thought I’d be here in Washington State, that’s for damn sure. It was a place my family visited every so often, in between regular camping trips. I always thought it was cold, nondescript, and nothing really special.

Even a year ago, I didn’t quite know what there was to do around here, in Puyallup.

I always say my life started when we moved up here because it really did. All the really, actually cool things that became a part of me happened up here. All my m...
