Like Pouring Concrete in the Rain

A rearview mirror glance at all behindThe rubble packed in boxes and my mindBeside hope innocent and fear so blindAnd blurry sketch of what I’d like to find The demolition plays before my eyesCrescendo and in infinite repriseA futile masochistic exerciseWhile begging for the pain to make me wise Like someone who knows how to… Continue reading

Blog: It’s Been

It’s been seven years on the 4th since my ex asked me to marry him. Seven years later, my life is unrecognizable and nowhere near where the woman that replied yes thought this would go. It’s been a year since I started blogging about Life Yeet 2025, a collection of changes in all aspects of… Continue reading

Blog: The Yesperiment

It’s been more than two months since the last blog – not for a lack of desire to write, nor a lack of experiences to share. Somewhere along the freeway of progress to embodied identity, the low motivation light came on and the lanes narrowed with bent and battered orange pylons down to one, clogged… Continue reading

Earthly Starlight

Follow me from where it’s loudTo silent lighthouse on the soundBlinking light between the eyesSigning shelter from the tide The light is no low flying planeNor ship that sails the other wayLet earthly starlight pull your gazeGuide you safely through the waves Through howling keenLet light be seen Follow me from acrid tastesTo sweeter shores… Continue reading

Live It Twice

Overflowing days of rain Grow the puddles into lakes Drown the ankles, rust the brakes Run dark circles over drains Void is filled with storms of pain Thunder’s sobs and lightning’s shakes Leaving echoes in their wake Through my lips each form your name Ride the storms in sky and brain Live it twice to… Continue reading

Each

ExcusingDeflect the blame with reasons variedRepeat to believe the tales that you sell RefusingDeny the conscience that you carryDeceit that forms each new circle of hell Each truth you bury deepCompounds the lieAvoid each consequenceOutrun and hideThe living that you fakeWill break your prideWhen brought to light ProjectingEntwine the injury with insultOmit the details that… Continue reading

Coax

Bend low and meet the eyesExtend hand held loosely closedShift thoughts from fear’s demiseTake it slow in the approach Short breath brought through the noseOut the mouth locked tight with teethDeep pain as anger showsAnd protection blocks relief A wounded beastFears what it needsHeal to releaseAnd take the lead Tiptoe and bear the soundDeepen growl… Continue reading

Blog: New Physics and New Life

Progress and travel generate a build of momentum, the mass of the decision multiplied by the velocity with which the moves are made. After some time in stony but familiar soil, I have taken to the sea again. The course I charted was an aggressive one, 6 hours in the car with a dog being… Continue reading

Sun and Snow

Crystal blankets heavyCold cover winter’s bonesBoth the dead and sleepingThe living and the stone Powder sharply shimmersSleeves trees with crooked armsClothing naked natureConcealing manmade harm Ash and boneHidden priceScourge of fireShroud of ice Cloud did layer deeplyThe filth of land belowBeneath the purest veilOf leaden ice and snow And where horizon meetsThe mirror glaze of… Continue reading

Moonlit Mending

Curving needle shines on highRises with the fall of nightPulls on bloodflow like the tideBinding lifeforce far and wide Spooling frozen breaths that riseAtmospheric thread through eyePlanet rolls the ends to tieHoles to make to mend torn time Piercing through burnt velvet sky Astral medic sutures whereTime left wounds both broad and bareEdges spread by… Continue reading
