POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Red Engines
Monsters at work behind the birds as they chirp.
So many voices going all at once it's hard to make out the words
I'm going into town and I'm not selling for
less than Im worth.
Judge me by the cover
Bet you'll get hit with the book
So many looks
I'm getting
Gains and traction
From the miles I'm climbing
uphill and it's an old hill to die on
but I'm sure you that you would.
And you will.
It's an old tale of
Same old
Same old.
Always was on the
wrong side of the tracks
As I...

The Revenant
I've been revving it.
Oh I've been driving.
I've been saying -
"Oh sweet lady.
I'm out of action.
I'm lost directions.
I'm head over heels,
I'm fucking face through the windshield
I'm shattering.
I'm insignificant"
I've been climbing
I've been meaning
I've been meaning to ask you this
What is it that finds you driving
my way
In the midst of destruction?
It's always the same

Pine Trees on Fire
The breeze soaked evergreen clearing drew me back to the way I felt when I was needing little bits of needles made of every bit of seedling in the thistles deeply nestled in the darkness I was reaching from
Wake me up and harbor on to the grudge that I've been hanging on
I'm lost in a sea of fog and the pressures just getting tough
Don't wake me up;
The dream I'm in,
It gets warm in parts.
I'm cold and soft.
I'm bitter and I feel bits of me
breaking off
The beach cove we used to say that we were going to lay upon -
Now...

Tiger Skull Island
Sticks and stones weren't meant for this
certain predicament
Stagnant in neutral, no movement.
I'm horribly out of my element.
Looks like it'll be quite a bit before I let this shit
sink in, again -
Murky water did me in.
Drank it up
now my guts are rotten
Drown me in the grotto where I breathed it all in
right before, a flash of wailing washers sit and scrub at my
bloody river-soaked linen
Cackling in fits
Telling me
my tide is a comin' in
certain predicament
Stagnant in neutral, no movement.
I'm horribly out of my element.

The Ben-Varrey
Right as soon as she jumped in, I'm freezing.
Not breathing. She ain't even listening.
Can't get past this.
No silver lining.
No.
Cascading waves of grace sheds away.
Shes fading fast at incredible paces.
A figment of my imagination.
There and gone as soon as she jumped in.
Cascading waves took her away
and we lost her to the
godforsaken
ocean.
Nearly grown and still believes in magic
how could we have known she'd be shedding her skin?
Well we didn't,
and
we did this.
And...

The Fairy's Mirror
Loss of limb;
Call it in I'm
Quick to please but I've been knee deep in
with the imps -
and the aqueous fiends -
they smile as they pull you into their
petty bullshit
Cost of sin is
Sleeping so thin that
The veil is arranged in accordance
with the textbook examples of;
Esoteric symbols painted
all over your bedroom
They're gonna find you.
So call it in
Couldn't have just waited it out
and gone home when things cooled down
no I knew I needed an excuse so...
I had to cut...

Merry Foreverment
Limpwristed wands of oak
with the knobs cut off
I'm lost in a fucking fog.
Oh!
They cut down all the trees out my window
Now nothing grows
And they don't show up for me no more.
Poorly twittled staffs with the knobs left on.
Limpwristed wands of oak
with the knobs rubbed off
I'm left in the throes of the magic
that came but we lost it;
We lost the steps and the moves are all wrong
Down on the grass where the tints are odd
The circular groves in the calm of the fog
in the hidden whispers of...
with the knobs cut off

God
God shot a heart shaped arrow
through my heart beating blood red
trickles down and
Shoots out
into spurts
And it hurts and its all
that I think about now.
Cuz God shouted loud across
the province and casted doubt in the forest
of fairies and
let me down
when I needed their stories most
but wish not
want not
I'm just glad I'm not
making things up
through my heart beating blood red
trickles down and
Shoots out
into spurts
And it hurts and its all
that I think about now.

Hatchet
Give a little bit
watch the party go off in a fit
of excitement and calamity.
Oh, a cavalcade of guilt just
washes over me
stained in red
as I raise my hands asking
"Why doesn't he just destroy me?"
Bury that hatchet
and all is forgiven.
Same as my father before me.

Karma
I've been dreaming about a pit in
my stomach
it hits and
it hits
And there's nothing
fucking magic about it
We've been living our lives at
the wrong edge of the blade
Now it's so poetic
how sharp
it seems to be
And we ain't
working on a miracle.
No wishmaster's left to
conjure up
We put all our hopes in stuff
that'll never measure up
And its so fitting.

glass house
Living inside my glass house
vacant
waiting on the backseat of
something painstaking
It's so back breaking
The dreams are
taking too much
of me
I'm not sleeping.
I'm not waking up.
I'm just dealing with it.
I'm sick of feeling
like shit
I don't get no
let-ups
Can't manifest destiny when
I'm not daydreaming
of ever waking up
and I'm not making it up
It's headache inducing

Pillars
The pedestal shook loose
and crumbled
Underneath weight of
shoulders never let up
Could have kept my cool but instead
I got fed up
Retrace this ruin and find but a castle
of dust
despair in place
of the emotions -
I'd spent em.
