Son, you're done for the day.
Lie down or maybe hit the hay.
You lost today,
but can't remember
if it was a fight,
or love, at first sight.
You're lying to your friends.
Your pets look the other way.
You always want it back as it is being taken away.
Just leave it blank for one day.
Come back another way.
Simple things are hard, cause they are made that way.
I love you kid.

1

Time moves fast and
time moves slow,
lost my will man i don't know,
lost my fun and lost my friend,
one who called me out by name.
A rising tide of fear and shame...
Hold it back dear Dad,
I don't want it to go bad
I don't wanna be sad,
but I look a fool
my nose always begging to be scratched,
picking away at what's left,
junking out left right,
rolling under a city of great heights.
Gotta get up, and keep moving
you know?
Can you take even this brain, this heart?
Yes.
Can't be afraid anymore,
you know?

Sun Set

Are you friend or foe or
something in between?
It's never black and white
between you and me.
Is this a circle or a spiral?
I shouldn't ask, but I can't
see my footprints between
the walls.
Walking around, fooling no one
with spears skewering my
body, plain to see in the
afternoon sun.
I dropped it on the sidewalk,
tried my best to step on it
as I walked to my favorite bench.
Maybe watch the warming sun set.
Maybe snap a photo with my eye.

Dream

Dream: Last Quarter

Riding a skateboard street glider mechanism, on my stomach.  She is ahead of me.  Before
this, I remember, I was shooting a film project between beaches and islands, very populated.
 I had 3 helpers who are now gone.  I am pushing my glider along with my hands but cannot
build up speed.  I can see her as a speck up far ahead of me.  It's night, a row of
apartments on the right of the street, feilds on the left.  I roll into a construction pit
of gravel and cement chunks.  I sheild my face and roll up out of the pit after a struggle.
I see her a kilometer ahead, barely, squinting, rolling right, behind the buildings.  I
arrive at the suburban 3 story townhouse, lush green trees and brush all down the unlit
street, cobblestone driveways.  I recognize the place, enter, and open the door to my room.
She is in bed with a blond haired man.  She says something, hitting her descending face with
her hand, and I bang my forehead against the door as I close it quickly, groaning.

Bastard Seeds

Diamond eyed plaything
Silver back, no name
Examples on repeat
Scripted acting
Temples dwelling
Hallucinating Everything
Honing the cylinders
Red oil driping
encrypted messages
Running, broken, scared with
sky eyes blinking
Bastard seeds shrinking
glimmering
hammering brass
chained together wandering,
their consciousness unavailing,
a higher calling 
dissolving them.

Dying Man

Dilluded angry tones
Made my insides shake down
Pulling the fear from my core
Stored in a safe place to be dealt with later
A dying man in a city of dreams, waiting to be woken and taken home.

Thursday 20 October 2011

I hear the pop,
and the embers turn white.
I breathe it all in,
coughing and sputtering
spit down my beard.
Bits of ashen dirt and paint in my mouth
Spit it out,
the liars that took residence,
the soul whoring,
into a tiny black pool
of human reasidue.
There is no response,
the only thing I want.
