It's the 28th of December 2024
I came here eleven years ago
and met somebody extraordinary,
tonight I return to this bridge leaving
this note saying family can be
chosen in this life too.
We are smiling because you will
meet somebody extraordinary too,
you can't see us but we
are sitting beside you.

Chlorinate the Gene Pool
If I decided to piss in the gene pool,
would a new genetic variant be created?
Maybe my genetics would create a new species or a hybrid
Anything is an improvement of what currently resides on this planet

Tears Of A Snow Drop
The nimbostratus was unprepared
The snow it carried
Hadn't quite yet frozen fully
The snowflakes
Were getting restless
And started shuffling around
Within the cloud
Desperate to escape
So much so
One solitary snowflake
Was pushed out of the cloud
And began to slowly drift
Towards the frozen earth far below
About half way down
The sun
Shimmered, and danced
Through the heavy dark clouds
Directly onto the snowflake
Melted
And then became an icy teardrop
Falling eventually, into...
The snow it carried
Hadn't quite yet frozen fully
The snowflakes
Were getting restless
And started shuffling around
Within the cloud
Desperate to escape
So much so
One solitary snowflake
Was pushed out of the cloud
And began to slowly drift
Towards the frozen earth far below
About half way down
The sun
Shimmered, and danced
Through the heavy dark clouds
Directly onto the snowflake
Melted
And then became an icy teardrop
Falling eventually, into...

Everyone forgets my f**king birthday
Generally I'm not a big song and ceremony type
when it comes to birthday hype
If someone asks, I tell them the day
However beyond that I won't remind. Not my way

Give Yourself to Love with thanks to Kate Wolf
Give yourself to love
If love is what you're after
Open up your heart
To the tears and laughter” Kate Wolf
Embrace the joys and pain
If growth is what you seek
Let go of all your fears
Just surrender when you’re weak
Give yourself to love
Trust in the journey's turn
We fall within the spell of lust
And let our spirits burn
When my final breath has come,
And my lusting flesh has ceased.
Scatter my ash across the sands
As all memories find release.
If love is what you're after
Open up your heart
To the tears and laughter” Kate Wolf
Embrace the joys and pain
If growth is what you seek
Let go of all your fears
Just surrender when you’re weak
Give yourself to love
Trust in the journey's turn
We fall within the spell of lust
And let our spirits burn
When my final breath has come,
And my lusting flesh has ceased.
Scatter my ash across the sands
As all memories find release.

"something deeper"
what if I told you- I'm just being- "nothingness" embodied- sustaining because of nature's wrath- surviving for survival's sake- another year with or without a "birthday cake"....it makes no difference anyway....
brought here for existence's sake- more inclined to escape than to embrace- conditions- including one's own fate- everything between that and today....
something deeper.... every song I've ever heard- every word that's ever struck a nerve- the long game, I do not hunger for or thirst- no dire need to be first in a race...

Fragile Existence
life is paper thin
a little tear
changes everything

Giving thanks this holiday season
Some of you knew
Others didn’t
In early January 2024
I was diagnosed with having a/fib
Atrial Fibrillation
How could that be ?
I never felt the symptoms particularly
Yet it was
Blood thinners immediately prescribed
Other heart drugs too
Then
Complications from drugs
More doctors
Lots of tests
Terrible interrupted sleep
Peeing like no tomorrow
Then
I started to listen to my doctors
Also to myself
Decisions to be...

auto pilot-full effect
one's a vistor- one's just passing through- just taking in- every single view, like photographers- with a journal too- blinking camera lens- one's not "human" dude- one's "mechanical...."
something technical- wires running through- this old fleshy suit....

Meus Solitarius
Smoldering red from the distance
fire from the city below
hands calloused from the atmosphere
with no place left to go
throw down the card win the hand
pour a glass of something top shelf
yah top shelf on ice that’d be nice
the night took the day
now it takes me
breeze comes from the maples
taking its bygone leaves
with every memory
that ever mattered
here i am
fire from the city below
hands calloused from the atmosphere
with no place left to go
throw down the card win the hand

lost cause
that tree
standing
off by
itself,
dying alone,
lonely,
no passion
left to
keep it
alive,
no tender
touch
to remind
it to
breathe.

I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone. I need to be alone.
