All Dark Saints

you compromise discovery
this world an imperfect operator
toothless maw adjust & its clocks come undone
to describe this laugh when wasted my hands
clean beat this spinning pill
all your fate they heart so full
west i look & how do you cope?

it’s quite safe
only this puppetry
my life picks dream hearts
beginning to accept the tactics
deliverance no nothing left missed
construed all you cope
how do you stop the world from spinning?

you pass the time must learn to crash
like no words left this question mark
how do you do no nothing?
how awed & full
how are you funny now that he’s asleep?
you stop the something written to me
don’t think it’s another rhyme or distinguished error
with breathless beats no head shaved
how do you hope world to stop?


Still Awake in Emerald

secrets held, suspicions, sighs
sorry for the cinnamon
rockhard waterlogged regrets
lock yourself up
lock yourself down

apologies accepted
illuminated
accelerated
candied away & forgotten


Troubleshooting

this is the rewrite
this is the edit
this is the multiverse in your back garden
in the crimson fogs of bubbling ponds
spitting rainbows into the gazing abyss

overlooking our ego
to babble out of time
incandescent lines

behold the cracking
the splitting apart of nothing
in particular & the gold shines through
in the turquoise night of desert dreams
spitting rainbows into notebooks lost

overclocking your shadow
turned in
tuned out
express regret watercolored
to babble out of lines
incandescent time
redrawing the maps with greater effect


Cabin in the Words

I did a thing! It was fun and brilliant and none of you will ever get to see it. Maybe. We’ll see.

I decided to do Camp NaNoWriMo this April. I failed at it, but more importantly, I succeeded at it. It turns out, if I give myself two goals, I have a better chance of hitting at least one of them. At least when it comes to writing. Actually, I can think of some other areas where that works, too, but that’s another blog post or two. (more…)
