Daughter in the Rough

Carbon born cold that newly beholdsHer motherCruel crush untold, new soul and soft bonesTo smotherBearing the blame of ancestral shameUncoveredBark out the flame of the one you namedAnd othered Born in the rough before diamond’s riseTemper the infant with stranger’s eyesFrom pressure you birth your own demiseAnd call it daughter Carbon long pressed could never… Continue reading

Half

Lax lashes flicker lowTo shape what sunlight showsIn linesWhen raised the piercing glowBurns colored imprints thrownHalf blindIn filtered eyes half-closedHalf light and half shadowDo findHalf hidden half disclosedBlanks filled by heart and noseAnd mind Let light growLeave what you knowBehind Tongue that touches truthTastes bittersweet of youthHalf staleRuns laps around each toothFrees words stuck at… Continue reading

Blog: Sail by the Stars 3, Tokyo Drift ;)

The next two stays were temporary spots for a night each; the rest and relaxation provided by the cabin was paramount to this portion of the trip, enabling me to take on more miles each jump. 5 hours of driving followed, and while I wrote at only 8:00pm local time, I could have easily fallen… Continue reading

Blog: Sail by the Stars, Part Deux

The narrative continues – this covers the next two nights, continuing to break up the content to a reasonable length. The next place that I stayed was a well-preserved 1950s cabin overlooking a broad lake. It reminded me heavily of my grandparents’ house from when I was young, which was sold in the mid 2000s.… Continue reading

Fall to Fly

Grave Reminders

Fallen feathers whiteNestle in the greenOf grass by rain renewedFallen from sure wings That soar above the cloudThat float atop the graveOf rippled waters darkThe surface of the lake The song they make is drownedBy lapping at the shoresConcealed by waves that whisperPrayers of wanting more Jeweled dragonflies can hoverOn the winds that push my… Continue reading

Blog: Only I Will Remain

As of today, I am officially a divorcee. I woke up to the document in my inbox after a nightmare so complex and odd that it may warrant its own blog post later on. Upon waking, I saw the email from the lawyers and immediately burst into tears, overwhelmed by a diaspora of emotion I… Continue reading

Blog: Sails as Projector Screens

Sequencing the vignettes of this time in my life is challenging, as there seems to be little coherent narrative. There are extraordinary scenes, short and vivid, that even when put chronologically tell no story. They’ll paint a landscape, or a collage of moments, gathered in the interstice between life phases. There seems to be little… Continue reading
