In the orchids
lies a warrior
gleaming like a ruby torch
come to me
in violent whispers
I will satisfy your thirst

Morning Follows the Night
morning mist collides with salty cement
my blisterd feet fumble to where i was
before the night was spent
with blurry black soles
and bloody ribbons running through my eyes
i walk
and walk
as the sun continues its rise

I’m All Ears
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart.
I am,
I am,
I am.”
Quote from Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar
“I Hear Everything” by Liam Brazier
Designed and Directed
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
in the humming wires
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
Lyrics by Nick Cave

La Lune
the sun scoffs at the self-indulgent moon
her rise
so slow
captivating as she bestows
her effervescent glow

Song of the Hag
let this sickness rain down
on the meadows below
til the dirt bubbles hot
and the daisies won’t grow
all the roses and lillies can fester and peel
in fog of the dawn
where nothing is real

A Body in Bloom
The Long Goodbye
sleep a while,
heavy soul
weary traveler
red and old
bury burdens in the sand
trust
that sleep
will make you whole
