Every new today
is just tomorrow's yesterday
like every yesterday
was once tomorrow
Sand slips soft and slowly
through the cracks of all existence
as we miss past versions of each other
from a distance
is just tomorrow's yesterday
like every yesterday
was once tomorrow
Sand slips soft and slowly
through the cracks of all existence
as we miss past versions of each other
from a distance

Eastbound For Home
She was driving home from Reno
in her mama's El Camino
on a gloomy Tuesday afternoon
Endless skies accounted
as lazy clouds swallowed the mountains
and the daylight faces of a waning moon
Her thoughts were lost; accosted
by a moment in the moonlight
dancing under stars in June
Glowing
in the warmth
of a tune
---- ---- ---- ----
She was tapping out the time
with her hand
on the steering wheel
(tap) (tap) (tap)
of an old-timey ditty
her daddy used to...
in her mama's El Camino
on a gloomy Tuesday afternoon
Endless skies accounted
as lazy clouds swallowed the mountains
and the daylight faces of a waning moon
Her thoughts were lost; accosted
by a moment in the moonlight
dancing under stars in June
Glowing
in the warmth
of a tune
---- ---- ---- ----
She was tapping out the time
with her hand
on the steering wheel
(tap) (tap) (tap)
of an old-timey ditty
her daddy used to...

Between Winter and Spring
Chilled air shivered through twilight's dancing curtains
Spring held to winters forced dreaming
like a greasy residue on ennui
Under frostnip's haunting cruel lighting
Frigid whispers of abandoned hope
echo reflections of lonely shadows
basking in stoic contemplation
As Boreas sighs death rattles against Iduna's rosy cheek
Spring held to winters forced dreaming
like a greasy residue on ennui
Under frostnip's haunting cruel lighting
Frigid whispers of abandoned hope
echo reflections of lonely shadows
basking in stoic contemplation
As Boreas sighs death rattles against Iduna's rosy cheek

When We Touched
Becoming other people
Morphing into other things
Twisting in the energy
of connections
deepened in intimacy
I still think about you
when the desert air
breathes sunrise
into grateful lungs
Smoke-tendered eyelids
burning from midnight
Fire dancing in the light
of your charming laughter
(
We were shadows in the dark
falling into an ocean of stars. )
Sparks spilling wrecklessly
through a wandering breeze
Our faces pressed together...
Morphing into other things
Twisting in the energy
of connections
deepened in intimacy
I still think about you
when the desert air
breathes sunrise
into grateful lungs
Smoke-tendered eyelids
burning from midnight
Fire dancing in the light
of your charming laughter
(
We were shadows in the dark
falling into an ocean of stars. )
Sparks spilling wrecklessly
through a wandering breeze
Our faces pressed together...

Massage
I tremble in place as I melt inside
Body and mind changing into something forgotten
Weakening at my joints under the magic of touch
It wasn't even much
though it filled me
pulling pieces apart at the seams
chain linked sinew unwinding
heartbeats feeling each other
through capillaries tingling under skin
solitude humming into whispered song
like prayer from Bacchus to GAIA
Chakras dancing drunken in life's golden caress
cold flesh reborn in harmony
under evenings glow
left lying complete in peace ...
Body and mind changing into something forgotten
Weakening at my joints under the magic of touch
It wasn't even much
though it filled me
pulling pieces apart at the seams
chain linked sinew unwinding
heartbeats feeling each other
through capillaries tingling under skin
solitude humming into whispered song
like prayer from Bacchus to GAIA
Chakras dancing drunken in life's golden caress
cold flesh reborn in harmony
under evenings glow
left lying complete in peace ...

(untitled)
Meet me at the old pear tree at midnight
Out in the south west field
We can hold each other close in the moons light;
Waning silver through clouds concealed
There's a sweet summer breeze whispering off in the distance
Singing thoughts of better days;
Promises left waiting on the horizon
Of Autumn's golden sunset rays
Out in the south west field
We can hold each other close in the moons light;
Waning silver through clouds concealed
There's a sweet summer breeze whispering off in the distance
Singing thoughts of better days;
Promises left waiting on the horizon
Of Autumn's golden sunset rays

I smoke until I feel happy. (getting by)
I stop when I can breathe
After the weight of the world is lifted
from my heart
(That's the depression.)
I stop when the thoughts stop-
Overthinking and Overanalyzing
every interaction I've had...
(the anxiety)
...since the last time I got high enough
To cry myself to sleep
Sweet release in the deep sobbing
(...it has to hurt to be forgiven...)
(that's a secret)
I always felt calm
In her warm embrace
(it's been years since we touched)
but time ages
I am no more sage than...
After the weight of the world is lifted
from my heart
(That's the depression.)
I stop when the thoughts stop-
Overthinking and Overanalyzing
every interaction I've had...
(the anxiety)
...since the last time I got high enough
To cry myself to sleep
Sweet release in the deep sobbing
(...it has to hurt to be forgiven...)
(that's a secret)
I always felt calm
In her warm embrace
(it's been years since we touched)
but time ages
I am no more sage than...

I Miss the way We Then
Pressed naked passions
Intertwined
Where we'd hide
our fond Touches
warmly stroking softness
against broken hearts
Thoughts Twisting
their teases
to see
where they meet
Reaching in need
of relief
from our needs
Our pleas
on the tips of our
tangled tongues
Intimacy
I miss the way We then
felt strong
calm and welcome
and free
still unharmed
before the scars
that come with time
Intertwined
Where we'd hide
our fond Touches
warmly stroking softness
against broken hearts
Thoughts Twisting
their teases
to see
where they meet
Reaching in need
of relief
from our needs
Our pleas
on the tips of our
tangled tongues
Intimacy
I miss the way We then
felt strong
calm and welcome
and free
still unharmed
before the scars
that come with time

Tomorrow is Another Yesterday
When you know how to twist the cord
To fix the short in the faulty wire
Where it folds at the fickle angle
needed to hold a charge
through the short in the plug
just to make it through tomorrow
you can use a goddamn hug.
That’s what my love feels like these days.
I’m wasting away
Wires fried from broken dreaming
Anxiety always screaming
while the future
slipped quicker
from me.
I write when I can’t breathe
I sing when I can’t sleep
I want what I can’t seem to have;
some hope when things...
To fix the short in the faulty wire
Where it folds at the fickle angle
needed to hold a charge
through the short in the plug
just to make it through tomorrow
you can use a goddamn hug.
That’s what my love feels like these days.
I’m wasting away
Wires fried from broken dreaming
Anxiety always screaming
while the future
slipped quicker
from me.
I write when I can’t breathe
I sing when I can’t sleep
I want what I can’t seem to have;
some hope when things...
