Our Tens Machine Blues
(Far as Eye Can Tell Dawn Loves Me)

rumble fish
hate with passion
love stems madness

a face to go
a place to laugh

leave me at the waterfall

yin-yang hate
double rainbow

only the portal
of time knows
where her eyes bloom

Broken Love Magick

on the wrong end
of a jealous death wish
make something useful
from my bones

whip it out
on special occasions

tell my story

WILL

deathbed keys
mean the most

especially when undeserved

only for the weight
of hearts alone

Risk vs Reward

I still can't say
what i need to say
until eye feel free again

so we can smile
and watch it all burn

as the illness fades away

No One Gets It Right

day wasted
night young

profundity lives in the stars'
shocking violence

night wasted
day young

divine wind doves
crash into the son

stoned and broke again
lost in transmission
to farewell's end

but we're all supposed to try

100 Point Tear at the Seams

the butthole of death
knows my name
and she tastes
ill

but i like
moldy bread

im a good boy
creepy too

alone on a stage
where youth dies

all the wrong heroes

The Same Lonely Hole

save yourself
before the oxygen is gone
hating requires caring
and I care a lot

don't
twist words
mined

be real
with me

Unconditional Love

sunlight and sorrow in one breath
dialogue known by heart
feed an animal
it returns

time either makes us
bolder or fools
but I've never met a fool
who wasn't bold

all the same
in the end

and I'm hungry

A raw, stripped-down meditation on time, damage, and survival — where pain hums like music and the road becomes both escape and reckoning.

I Am an Animal, Not a Man

secret keeper
soul savior
sin eater

legacy of ruin
lovelorn son
never was one
for one-night stands

amethyst casket
poet blouse
pirate

lonely daughters

listen to the voice
below the voice
it'll carry you
home

Apologies Due To The Scar On My Ass

sorry is a sympathetic feeling of misfortune
it has nothing to do with happy or sad

you can be sorry for something
and still be happy you did the thing

vice versa also applies

Enjoy Every Sandwich

a mushroom cloud
erupted in the window

just as he'd finished making lunch

Warren Zevon, coincidentally
blasting from the radio

a knowing smirk crept across his face

he closed his eyes
took a bite of his last ham & cheese

then . . . BOOM

Old Ghosts Come Calling

erudite antonym conversations
whispered late at night
lying to the dark
