Winding forest roads Cut through the deep south In the heart of June ~ How those days reeled by In the warm window pane Changed from red desert plains Into green still waters ~ Still the highway drones Through the bleary nights As a mother’s lullaby From those years kept buried Under miles of darkness…

Seeking an empty space Between the columns of names Beneath the towering gods Of a distant dream ~ I’ll make a home in their shadows Forgotten in their joy For the inner world to sprout And rise high in revolt ~ Seeking space In their bustling rivers of concrete To carve a swathe of green…

Laughter sails into the mist Giving way to church bells Ringing over silent acres of stone ~ Cold and bloodshot stares Live in warm summers past Turned away from the agony Of their desolate march ~ The trail sways in song Toward the earth’s black wound Slow and steady in denial Of their truest love…

Raindrops coast on the coldest breeze When there’s nothing more to say And the silence wrings out All the air from your lungs ~ When the torch is passed From the frost-bitten night Pushed forward from the tempest To a calmer day’s embrace ~ Raindrops paint the pavement In even darker shades of grey, Their…

Off course, Consumed by a strange frame of mind Night rushes through the window With a swarm of unrealized desires ~ These reveries are crushed to a glittering pulp Made shapeless And molded Again and again ~ Off course in the dark Dreams born in the moon’s cool rays Have turned to ash by the…

The burden of a few stray words Spat out from an alleyway Slows the journey to a crawl Through glass-ridden streets ~ The cold gaze of a stranger Distorts the inner melody As the treasured odes of family Fall free from your grasp ~ Deceitful verses follow you As you burrow into the night Beyond…

Stillness at the break of day From the cool and coarse sand A line is cast And time unwinds ~ Strangers weave into the soul In colorful flocks Their melodies preach of distant shores ~ On the verge of darkness Adrift in the blue Stray fragments of the world Piece together at last ~ Is…

Daydreams turn to dust And float away From the arms of a recluse Sleeping, through the ire of his brother’s storm ~ He lunges for the ether From the ledge of his mind Pursuing past wonders As the waterline rises ~ To a soft glow he soars For irretrievable ghosts As war rages outside of…

A train steams out of reach Charging over the plains Coughing smoke plumes back At souls rushing the platform ~ In the frozen emptiness The crowd dwindles each way For their far away hearths Strewn across the dead country ~ Nothing steams from the darkness For the red eyed remnants, In the dim silver sun…
