Sinking through the fog Bog of a swamp In a diving helmet Humidity 100% So thick I sink Like a fishhook Flying droplets splash Five feet off the ground It’s warm and wet Dank air on my breath Traversing the mist Like the blank spots On a map Hot wind runs moist Like sweat theyContinue reading “Raincense”

Fragments
A rare sight In the cloud’s hazy light Which scatters down The mountainside Obscuring its tallest peaks And making the base Seem impossibly steep Glittering wet Blackberry vines On the side Of the freeway Grey all around Rain like stars We could be Driving on a Nebula highway With no point Of reference But theContinue reading “Fragments”

Dance of the Doom Dirge
It’s a scary shadow Walking determinedly Down a dark hallway With dim backlights His terrifying mind Gears are visibly Twisting, thinking Gears are churning Through the black Slag of his intent In his skull This horrifyingly Capable man Black clad Every heavy step On the ground Makes it kneel As he passes Stone hot driveContinue reading “Dance of the Doom Dirge”

Flophouse
Flophouse People come in and out Every day New cars In the driveway A boy, a cigarette A father, a bike all bent They don’t look like they know Each other all that well As the father and his cigarette Hits the boy in the back of the head And they walk down the streetContinue reading “Flophouse”

Inclement Walking around In the early morning Petrichor in the lungs Beside Gateway Highways To any High way Over railroads And rail roads Where fortresses Grid tall towns Warm hands On yokes and reins Vicious peacocks Edged driftwood Can’t stop Won’t stop Ferns on moss On trees Puzzle bark Sticks Razor wire Shrub forts SpearContinue reading “Inclement”
