Hide Yourself

In the meantime, I'm reading.
  not with my fingers, will anything be left behind
for if that is the soul motivator
  Show the only omni theater trick you know.
I've sea and ocean full of non entities
  not for nothing and the energetic entrails follow
but silent at her feet. In silence too, she speaks.
  and so the story flowed from the rooftop of his menthol capacity.
his uneven caption of the scene could do no more
  then even a pathetic attempt to scratch, carve,
an image, eventually basic, into the puny eyeballs of the youth.

What might have been lost?

What might have been lost?

ideas

Quick! with your hand

    leave them all behind

the snow on the mountain

the cloud in the sky

On the way back,

I blinked,

like the T encircled 

while mustached heroes

 spoke of their destination

and beautiful listeners

     created beautiful memories.

each one a little dirty

   I’ll dream of you,

I promised.

but black divided by gray

equals= ALL is ALL

and misty minutes drove me

they dictated my every action

attention, my Capital

first I need a drink

She writes in coloured pencil?

a different for each mood?

I pretended it was you

but it wasn’t

it was someone beautiful

an overboard presence,

just a picture,

pause enough

know that the "I"

is not alone

there is someone.

someone who might

be able enough to

understand if not

then my opinion: 

All is Doomed.

But there are too many 

beautiful hands here,

Now here with your hands,

leave them all behind.

I was in Chile. After a day trip to the the mountains in early spring. A long day of hiking, sledding, and enjoying some iron infused natural heat springs. There were five of us in a small pick up truck. The ride up was cramped and a little bit sweaty. My girlfriends brother and I elected to sit in the bed of the truck rather than squeeze back in.We winded our way down, through little extremely rural villages, past higher pastures with their cattle and Huasos. Max listened to Bob Dylan on his headphones, I listened to Max signing along. We left a trail of dust in the dirt road as the sun set over the powerful Andes. It was some time ago, a couple years. But for a flat-lander from the Cape, it's not a memory that will fade any time soon.

Where does the snow on the mountains

become the clouds in the sky?

When is going to a foreign country

no different from going home?

what might have been lost?

simply the view of le bleu

the sky hides from me

I’ve left lives behind

I’m simply living away.

life is too short

to see so many lives walk

consistently, constantly, cautious

What might have been lost?

Whence Birds of Prey

     then was something unlike today
     sleepless at first
          now a headful of awareness
     for the skin I shed was careless
     then I found my thirst
     my 'desperate, fevered thirst'

     the memory of an old emotion
     to reawake an old devotion
     align my heart, put pen in motion

     she's

     whence I turned, 
     and from there faced the edge 
     of my reasoning

It's simple really, this ever encouraging March is over. 

It make take some days to find what April holds for me. While I struggle with the ticking clocks and changing calenders I invite you to take a look at what March had brought to me.

Most of the drawings are from March.

New Year, New Baby, New Book, New Blog.

New Beginnings all around.
    It's been a hectic few months. I've been balancing the holidays with preparing the house for the coming baby, house projects and side jobs on top of a normal work week, getting my poetry chapbook together and printed, and a gift of MineCraft and a copy of Donkey Kong Country. I've been busy. But now the baby's here (It's a girl) and I'm planning on taking the next week off of work to stay with our new addition as she gets used to our world. With any luck I'll be able to get after a couple of the items on the to-do list and make it out to local bookstores to attempt to sell some books. I'm also hoping to figure out this blogging thing and maybe set up something here that could be really beneficial to me. I don't have the internet at my house so this is going to be sort of on the back burner for a while. But I'll try my best to keep up with it and to socialize with it. That's it for now. Awkward first post is in the books I guess.
