Vacation
Crickets in the night
By the beach in
Torchlight are overwhelmed
In sound by
Monkeys deep inland
Stars twinkle
They get louder
You’re in space
Flying through the
Black at mach six
The sounds and sensations
Of that beach follow
As you soar with
Constellations
Drums from the seance
Pound
Yet the spitfire sound
Reached out so far
Pressure builds
Your mind collapses
And you’re in the void
You are the stars
You are the constellations
Running forever in the
Endless cold
Where the things stitched
To...

Je Suis Pistol
[image error]
Brave
Charging out from haze
Holding questions close
La Vie en Rose
Yet confident
And brimming with
Rosy white fire’s tint
Always willing to bloom
A pistol my protection
A life in rose reflection
Nuit de reve banners
Flowing above me
Muzzle flash
A fleur de lis
Cautious places
My wander sees
Lost in a titan’s realm
Intelligent design, a well
Spring of Fibonacci
Sequence labyrinths
Life in pinks and fractals
Following the trails
Mesmerizing glass so
Bright and fragile
Charging through the veg...

Can’t Kill Us
Rising
From the ashes again
Shaking
Off the debris
Rising
Despising
Deciding to action
Power full force
Forward
Resist
Confound the
War machine
Move swiftly and
Stike hard
Evade and resist
Protect yourself
From this
Impossibility
“I calculate your
Odds of survival at
21,368 to 1,
Unless you pull the
Trigger.”
Quite time now
As the wrath reigns
Free
In the quiet time
Can’t kill us
Can’t kill us
Can’t kill us
Fire and fury
Adrenaline
Surely will be
Enough
Wires pop and
Sparks surround you
The c...

Advanced Research
A muffled dirge
Possessive sound
Stalking like it’s
Sentient
An overwhelming
Compelling hellfire
Felling in
Starved echoes
A frantic pulse
Panicked, enhavocked
And beating with
Friction so hot
Impact injected
Directly in shots
Gears grind and
Servos shift
It is it’s own
Fuel
In an unstoppable
Engine
Crankshafts
Breakbeat
Aggression
Stokes the heat
Dirging like demons
Infecting the neurons
And depth diving into
Dreadful thoughts
A gross song that
Mind alters
To the white noise
Of red tunnel vi...

Wire Rose
[image error]
Thin mechanical wire and copper wire, with an 8 gauge black wire center. After the Dishonored Mask Build I felt pretty struck by the idea of mechanical flowers because I think I saw one of my peers making one during class one day. This is autumn of 2014, and I had intended it as a gift for my then significant other. I took a lot of care to put some details into making the thorns seen along its stem, and to add the two palm tree looking sprouts off the side of it. Probably the most difficult...

Desperation will make
Ink brushes
Out of spare wire
And will make one want to
Make some kind of
Art from it
Scratchy and stupid
You do it out of
Desperation

All the tools
I’m afraid to use
Custom built
Hardware
I machined them
Worked with them
So beautiful and
So personal
That I’m afraid
Of breaking them
Each seems so fragile
In my hand
So thin and
Ergonomically slick
Inner workings
Heavy and intently
Needing to be
Manipulated
In order to use
Yet being so small
As to seem like
It’s got a lifespan
And I yearn for it
To be
Immortal
