in a home near to falling
into the sea
living on oysters and powdered foods
the unwanted wanted
to be wanted
when the sea finally took them out
they got their wish

nothin feels better
than caring 4 plants
new homes made of pottery
you spun with your wheel
i smile at my sad thoughts
and laugh at the angry ones
burying them beneath roots
my hands in the earth

the first days of fall
the strings the smoke the horns
she was kissing him all along the face
the many many foamy glasses
raindrops striking the storefront
windows …
the first days of fall
the lips would remember it all

thoughts
they would not chase
all those beautiful dangerous thoughts
into the corral
some say they lacked
managerial grit
but it was something else
they loved to watch the damn things
run free

sky casino
walking away
broken bottles in the lot
hearts a little heavy
i know this place wasn’t nothing
without you
the dreams we conjured
when we doubled down
and won
oh to get away from the world
dying together
when the pill dropped
on red
i would happily die
a thousand times
by your side

9.5 work
the nine to five to nine
with escapism was perfectly
in line. they got plenty of bread
never went home or let it get
to the head

out.stand.ing
we run on sentences
sunshine coffee and rain
we stand out in a world
run on credit and oil
and war

zomby warhead
we all got a hundred problems
and i got mine. zombie on the road
coffee seeking missiles capped with warhead aches
too early for the sun and so
we exist in darkness

#PTSD
watching the many screens
killing the endless hours and
they say there’s a heart in your chest
i don’t remember and they say
there’s thoughts in your skull
i don’t know. but it’s better
to be numb than feel

translucent orange
my brother made a family
to keep the lineage alive while i
produced only a masterpiece
literary in nature to mark
these times
