In the beginning, there was flame and the pain of not knowing why we burn.

Ceilings and walls of tenuous sleep
Blankets are a thin
Membrane
Against the noise
And the chaos
And the cold
Yesterday, sunlight and commercial
Music at the mall, where
Those of disposable means are
Casually tossing coins,
To the metallic yap of a
Plastic toy dog
I see them,
Groomed and adorned,
Having learned and strove
Through the capitalist systemic
Calculus
Of have and wont and woe,
I admire them
That perseverance,
That sharp toothed priority
Of self and those whose well...

From Typhon to Echidna
I love the sweeping long lines, haze, mist
Diffusing the whole,
And soft wake of shadows
And to see myself
In you
I love the smooth arcs of your
Violence,
Deep swathes, curvatures,
Both metallic
And soft
I love you to contradictions
As the train calls me
To leave,
With its mournful klaxon
I recall,
I never feel
So acutely alone
As when I travel,
I suppose,
The protection of the familiar
Is stripped away,
Baring the soul
In all it’s terrible...
Diffusing the whole,
And soft wake of shadows
And to see myself
In you
I love the smooth arcs of your
Violence,
Deep swathes, curvatures,
Both metallic
And soft
I love you to contradictions
As the train calls me
To leave,
With its mournful klaxon
I recall,
I never feel
So acutely alone
As when I travel,
I suppose,
The protection of the familiar
Is stripped away,
Baring the soul
In all it’s terrible...

Pupils Equal And Reactive to Light
Hi, folks. I wrote this in reaction to the events of this day, which will live in infamy, January 6th of 2021, the day that insurrectionists, fueled and emboldened by the lies and misdirection of a megalomaniacal autocrat, desperate to hold the reins of power, stormed the Capitol building in a lunatic attempt to overthrow the democratic process. During the violence, a woman as yet unnamed was shot and killed, who fired the fatal bullet is also as yet unknown. In a democracy, we decide upon our leadership by the process of voting and accept the results of that electoral race. Protest is an...
