Ohhh boy, now we’re getting deep into what made Year II special. The murmur set: Murmur, Palpitation, Irregular, Flutter, and Arrhythmia all revolve around this tiny microcosm I’ve built that starts with stained class and moon crabs. This was the kickoff point for Year II, autumn of 2015. We’ll take it from the top, beginningContinue reading “Murmur Box – Rehashed”

Arrhythmia
Let slide writ waves on line Though everyone else Only hears half-lies Infinity is our half-life Chemical Coastline Where waves break And stained glass shines Ancient lotuses Covered in hard rime Radiating photic Caffiene and dopamine Green ivy on the Shoreside redwoods Turned a silvery Gunmetal grey Pogonip in canopies Lake bath bombs, glittery ItsContinue reading “Arrhythmia”
Our Esque
Bare bodies Dog tags Idle clink Idyll sink Of heat As our brands Gravitate And demand To touch Two murmurs In our Heartbeats Yearning Conquering The other Ramadan Memorial Some weekend Shanghaied Cigarette smoke Swirling sunset And we’re only Protected By our marks Our murmurs Our esque Dog tags Clashing Jingling Moving Together Like wavesContinue reading “Our Esque”

Murmur
I calculate, analyze, and extrapolate I weigh the odds, perceive the risk Make motions when I see fit Carefully measured in every decision You ushered me to accept my brand That which I had neglected for years I never had thought of it as pretty But it’s a tag that can save my life YouContinue reading “Murmur”
