La Croix Rouge
She’ll never realize her importance to me
I’ll never have the courage to right the wrongs
A life will be wasted and a heart will live in delusion
The tired shadows are restrained upright
Posed into semi-factual memory positions
The heart weeps, uncomforted by the display
The wasted life walks...

Work, Work, Work
Once again, I haven’t updated the site in quite a while. I’ve been REALLY busy with work lately now that I’ve started a new job and it’s been tough to write and keep the site updated. I am trying to get some new work up here, but it’ll be more sporadic than I had hoped. ...

Thirteen Shapes – Part 13
For three and one half days I floated in space
The perfect darkness consuming everything
‘Do I still have a body, I cannot see it’
I began to understand that it was pointless to struggle
Blind and suspended in a gelatin tar
I began to understand that it was pointless to debate it
In purest...

Things never seem to end the way I want
Accomplished Nothing, discovered Nothing
I walk around in circles for forty or fifty years
Then I die and hope that they will remember me’
Dead in the middle of the Nowhere
Some pathetic last attempt to rectify
A hundred thousand mistakes and forgotten people
A complete waste of dying time
A hopeful notion of last minute...

‘ I am the soft skin burned and affixed to the oven eye
Slow pull and tear; my skin displaced; sticky smooth’
On the edges of the seas of sand its fingers gripped; anchored
Slowly pulling its massive bulk, a giant salamander sliding on its belly
Ticking seconds passed, frantic times I felt as the premonition took hold
Digging, hiding deeper into my socket the...

Old tobacco stained beetle wings : Birthed from fingers cracked and aged
Their mother hand gripping cards : Around a table drenched in time
Eyes glazed over with whiskey dreams : And long since passed escapades
Three alone with empty stares : Each in a world dead, gone
Drowned in a central Nothingness : This nexus bound their hearts together
And rested as a center pile : A...

The great honeybee exodus was short
I stood on the fountain’s edge
A podium from which I would deliver their sentences
With neither a word nor simply gesture, they returned
Attentive and embracing they gazed into the mechanical eye
(Address to the Honey Bees)
This face you see is not painted on
You strive to make faces where faces do not exist
I can give you these things...
