ATMOSPHERE

Thought it must have been an airplane gliding too low, overhead. This sound that shook the walls and rocked my lonely bed. But it was just the echo of your breaking heart, I had been fighting, steady trying not to hear. Until you let it out, and played it back into the atmosphere. Acid rain, […]

What Sasha Sees

What do you think she sees? I know you like to make-believe Like it’s right for you to make the call, for her. For what you feel she needs. But I know her better. I know when she’s feeling down. When frosty bangs hang low across her brow, Who can say what Sasha needs? Remember, […]

Black Apples

Two planets spinning, Two planets roll. Heavy, it’s hollow, people. My sallow soul. Don’t take your eyes off me, You’ll miss the move. I’ll play the enemy. You play the fool. This is the black ball, Two planets float. I am the ghost you love To fear the most. I play the angel, people. I […]

Amnotrypterol, No worries, no fear. So happy, I fly. This is the last time. No breakup, no lie. This is my lifeline.

THE VERDANT SOUL

​I was only a child; Maybe 8 years old. This was the hundredth, sunny, New Orleans afternoon spent adventuring in my great-grandfather’s wild backyard. 4218 Rayne Drive. Gentilly Parrish. It was full of life, from dry spurweeds,that clung to my jeans and fastened themselves to my shoelaces and socks, to hungry hordes of anole lizards,creeping […]

M.M.Y.M.

Make me your master, I’ll give you the tools, I only get faster, more passion for you. Meet me for a midnight rendezvous, I only get deeper, more feeling for you. And if you get cold, I’ll be the warmth in you, I only get brighter, more fire for you. Make me your lover, your monster, […]
