Opening Song
There is a low hum from a machine, there is the darkness outside.
Couple of dogs sitting by
my side. I’m in Fort Bragg on the edge
of nowhere.
this is the first poem of the year.
the year is 2019. there is a low hum from
a machine, there is the darkness outside.
the waves are breaking on the rocky shores
and cliffs. we’re near the edge of the cliff
we’re near the edge of the world. we’re
at the precipice where the future comes
crashing in. the future is now.
what now?
what will happen next?
the world is floating out in space
and so am I. sitting here, in this house
in this town so far away from home.
I don’t know what lies outside I don’t
know what lies inside. I’m out of sorts
here at the precipice of the future.
a belly full of Taco Bell sits in
my belly.

Regret Nothing

A Castle That Be
Oh what a muse this castle be, deep in the forest of evergreen-sun beams, for eyes to please; Yet, this castle, was a trip to dare, in all its hassle of getting there – Yet, fair, so beautifully vivid...
Conversations
I don't know how it changed, Conversations went away, know one wants to talk anymore, Its all about Facetime, Facebook, or Tweeting, What the Hell is going on? It starts a fight to talk with people in...
Candle Light of City
When the sky grows dark in rainy days From a window you wishing stars in crowds Standing in the sea of people shouting silently Legend story like a king in castle destiny When the rain preferred over ...
