Drones of August – Journal 8/22/18

Almost a month since the last journal. At least these are getting slightly more predictable.

Well, having time to get my head on straight, a number of things have happened, as most things inevitably do when one gets idle.

I’m going to become the contracted videographer for a local EDM venue.

I have a wedding on my docket to shoot.

I’m going to be at the Art Institute of Seattle on Tuesday to see what they can do for me.

The pieces of a Tiny Whoop Beta65S arrive tomorrow, and I will be fully i...

Nighttime Hours

Did you feel the noise
Did you watch with poise
All the girls and boys walking down
The lake paths lit by light on spikes
Being stabbed by pikes
Making waves in the lengths of the lake’s still water
There’s so much to see that we wish we were taller
But we can drive down freeways and see what signs say
30 miles away
20 miles away
Then 10, then 2, then
One away from being able to be part of the hour
Can feel the rush
Can drink the power
Full of chemicals that taste like copper
When you’re hear...

Asoru

Standing in spirals
Of snowflakes that blizzard
Around you

Chronicling the liftoff
Of truths and atlas moths

Asoru

Sweeping legs up and away
Pulling bodies into the fray

4/20 Confessions

That night was
Different,
For I felt the same void breeze
Once before in a different place,

And I knew that you
Were too like that place:

Different.

Those shores down the line
Coasting shy from sky to sky

To bring us the currents of
That old breeze, carrying
Familiarly new feelings.
Each sensation,

Every single molecule on my
Hands as they grazed yours
Endured a mini apocalypse
Like my skin went nuclear,

And from then was irradiated
To be a clean slate
Upon which you
Claimed me.

And I was hap...

We didn’t have to fly at Lake Crescent to remember how long it took for us to get here. Not one bit. Corruptions by an outdated program help to clang everything into perspective.

So you’ve splayed upon
Hardwood floors your
Deepest feelings hidden
In your organs

Cut apart the shell
And bled out your wellness

What caused this

Eldritch
Elimination

Irukandji feeling
Of impending doom

Like the moon is glassed
And the sunhammer falls
Down to the world to
Flatten out the impurities
Carried out by no thing
But anti-social intangibility

Those Four Ghosts

Hovering
Haunting
Above blacktop
Phasing through

Everything

They shift
In and out of being

Hoods representative of shields
And displacing
Blinking
Far reaching

Between two times

Every other second
Pauses
And we can walk
While others stop

Teleporting every
Two moments
Ten feet forward
Talking to each other

Unaware of the stakes
Or that others exist
Almost shrounded
In our own world

We glitch as we walk

Hovering above blacktop
Abnormal presences

Still there in that place
Forever as four ghosts

Sickly Sweet

Like flowers
Put through the ringer

Wolfram Rush

Constancy
No urgency
Slow moving
Solid of liquid

Kind of kinetic energy
Or vorpal between

Keen unrelenting
Slow-walking
Chassis that cannot
Be ceased

Ironclad
Juggernaut
A titan
By any name

Attack sustained
Decay released

Slowly greyly
Shattered dismay spree
Charging constantly
Stoppage to peace

Wrathful walking
Sundering mocking
With capability
With dissufferablility

Ad Basher: New Skin Liquid Bandage

I did a thing I’ve been meaning to for 4 years. I did it in the style of Critical. I’m actually quite proud with how awful it didn’t turn out to be.
