Break through another down episode. Came by it honestly. A slow, drip dry, until the bottom. But I don’t make it as far down anymore. Consequences go both ways. A noose becomes a halo. Scratch back another habit. Feel the attacks, but I don’t retract automatically like I used to. Not so quick to […]
Breaking light. Yearning for a new creation. Muddled attempts at yesterday lay discarded, already forgotten. Asking the burning line in the glowing east for one more genesis, one more inspiration. Jonesing like a junkie. Tremor in the hands that know only love or war. Creation and destruction. Reconciliation only comes in the act. […]
Tune into victimhood. Saturday afternoon, lines long from the subway to the protest. All the mouths aligned. Ready to shout. Ready to scream. Ready to be fed. No more justice in the public square. Politics is dead. The end of all things. No more milk to squeeze out of the sagging government tit. […]
Turning to face my accusers. Finding only my face in the mirror. Devil on my mind, angel on my shoulder. Let them fight it out. Turn and walk away. Sick to death of my own bullshit. The world feeds the poison I crave. Simple man. Simple times lay another way. Mirrors don’t just […]
Irrevocable. Dreams that take the mind, like leaves in a new wind. A dance, a song, then only refuse. Not much left of time. Hear words, but cannot say what they describe. Fingers pointing out. Hands covering up what’s inside. Another waking crime. Too late to stop fate. Rustle of the winds as […]
Nothing comes away from the conflagration unscathed. All parts of us, minds, bodies, and spirits, changed. What a way to go. What a way to grow, as the fire takes down the forest to the floor. We thought that we were trees. Great cedars, reaching up towards the sky. Children of the Most High, […]
Ask you, “Why?” Eyes open, a thousand-yard stare. No answer. No look of guilt. And no apology. Ego inside. Break the stem of the rose, and watch beauty die. Avarice. Artificial intelligence. Apathy, and anger inside. Hollow place that used to hold a heart. Sold for smoke and slowly torn apart. Fight or flight, […]
Whisper a prayer in the dark. Get ready to go. The time has come. Past procrastination now. The future hangs on every heartbeat. Fear is just a normal thing. It’s bravery that is uncommon. Movement in the still quiet, is a bold proclamation. Take your faith out of your pocket and wear it in […]
Shut in. Doors to where I have been close behind me, leaving me in darkness. A final exhortation. Faith, the currency by which I make the leap. Always is, and always was. Forsaking ingrained stimulation response to all of this. Breaking away, like the top of a mountain falls in an avalanche. I am […]
#mentalhealthmonday#mentalhealthawareness I think it’s safe to say that most of our work/reward structures are pretty messed up. It’s not that we don’t make efforts or get rewards, but for many of us, we have a distorted view of what the work/reward ratio ought to look like. The fact is, our generations have been coddled in […]
The future is the only vision drawn from a desert morning. Sky blazing bright, electric blue arc, and fluorescent pink strata paint the mesa, and the road ahead. Steel touch steel. An anger solidified. Manifested in time. Wires and circuits. Not what we evolved into, but something that evolved from us. A single […]
Dissident, I hear you break the stillness of the morning with your song. Singing glory to God, and life to His creation. A plumb line drawn from Polaris, down through the Earth. What’s good is good, and evil is plain to see. There are no obfuscations in your notes. Your language free of […]
Feel like falling, but I only need another few miles. Ask my legs to bear me up, carry me along. We’ve come so far, what’s a little longer? Head down and push on. No place to rest. No time, as the sun is setting. Surely, it will rise again, but by then it will be […]
This is all I need. This, here. This little place. Get out and walk. See it from the street. Stopped building walls around my soul. Let them fall and become a road. So far, yet so close. Step by step seeing where it goes. Thought I was an alabaster man, carved by some master’s […]
Wired into obsession. Monofilament compulsion hijacking the pulses of our grief, and our desire. Beta tested protocol. Cultivate a following. Avatar in figurehead, selling you a dream you can’t afford to buy. It isn’t fake. It isn’t false. It is deceit. Rendered reality, subtle snake influence, yet to shed its skin. Multi-platform saturation. One view. […]
Storms have a way of dredging up old wrecks from the bottom of the sea, and depositing them on once pristine beaches. Awaken in the morning. Stable, but diffusing dawn filtering in through white linen curtains. Seagulls cry, and the fresh smell that follows a night of hammering rain, wind, and raucous thunder. […]
Skeletons dance in my head. Shaking their bones in time with old songs that fade away to grey ash, and all I’m left with are the bones of the past, shaking as the cold wind blows. No one knows what stays and what goes. Shake a leg in time with the times and […]
An aviary. Open door. Empty, but for the wind. Home, so easily a prison. Choice, still a song calling as the seasons change. Old feathers and bits of paper spiral up, as if dancing in recollection. Is the open sky only a bigger cage? Does it matter, if we choose to make it home? […]
I’m gonna break this town. Soon as the light changes. Hit another wall, burned another bridge, but this time it’s my call. Not sitting around anymore. Not gonna drive that small town, loser cruise, simple circle, down into oblivion. I’m gonna punch it. Hit the gas so hard the pavement is gonna fold […]
