Dropped you off at the airport for the tenth time this week. Song came on on the ride back to our house. Using these pronouns while I still can. Don’t want the end of this thing we made to be any more imminent than I do any other kind of doom. Do you really thinkContinue reading “Weeping to “While my guitar…””

Playing this game called reality I’m virtually free: From my fingers to my toes feeling things gettin digital…
Angel in blue
A week ago, over the top branches of the trees two blocks away, the flicking linear beeline of a hummingbird out to enjoy the uncommonly warm weather. The darting, pausing path discloses the species even without the need for binoculars. It brings back the times they’ve flown so close as to see their spectacular greenContinue reading “Angel in blue”
Angel spec?
Three weeks ago, maybe four–lying in bed and inbetween sleep and reality…what spectral being descended thru the oblivion of my mind: folding golden flowing forms growing closer, close enough to encounter, a rumination or revelation?

7 W’s
When you heard about the intercepted hypersonics, what did you imagine? Was this the sign the war was turning, or merely propaganda against R/P–“Western defense systems” referenced as the reason the “unstoppable” had been stopped forebodes–Wow, a hundred years ago we had just all gotten out of the first WW–Without realizing the next one wasContinue reading “7 W’s”

I was just thinking: It’s about time I bought a real robot.
sumthings
I remember being up each day at 5 and getting the grind on like a real devotee, putting in the hours towards that beacon, finding the energy when it wasn’t there. I thought that was hard. Ha.The prayer was: help us find grace when we feel we are depleted. I had tried to secularize it.Continue reading “sumthings”
CH. I: I’m a Soul Man (Repeat 4X)
So the long and short of it when Eddie comes clean is this:
I say to him Eddie, when you lied about your mother, I mean about everything before we met, whenev-er that was, it’s just—I mean how do I know now it’s not a lie, too?
