The casual trills of home Unfold in unison Streaming from the windows Toward a highway’s drone – The outer world gives back Flooding out the hollow spaces Of an aimless mind With sprawling visions and verses – Scrawling over the anguish Of childhood scars Carved deep into the marrow New oaths take form –…

I carry the weight of a tune Over a mountain’s crest The words falling from grasp Where wild daydreams grow – They are scattered in pieces Down a twisted path, Snarled with the harmonies Of wind and rain – Feather light and silent I take off into the mist To be…

A hunger resides in the night Rumbling through the mind As distant thunder And looming flares of red – In its enclosing rage The world’s ensnared with a fever dream Tussling feral Razed to ruin by each other – In the tragic silence Of their smoldering demise Old pains are emboldened With a new range…

Taking my fill of a river It is never enough I am scorched In these dire and desolate times – Knee deep In its raging, nourishing swell My parched eyes only widen With a fearful greed – Fears of wasting away Are sure to drag me under With full pails Repaying all the life I’ve…

It is a sultry and passive Sunday Full of unearned slumber Lazing around Lovesick and half-drunk – A day of soaring melodies In the high noon haze Ever-thankful and filled With our forebear’s psalms – I reside in the swell Of many twilights past Her hand in mine Our kiss Beneath the neon stars rising…

The fireworks’ nightly bloom Casts an empty glare Over quiet swathes Of tired hearts and minds – Home again Some retreat to their lonely caverns Weighed down by the day Pockets heavy with sand – In the evening’s flare They breathe in short shallow breaths Eyes wide at the ceiling Burning red and white…
