Defiance

Violently broken
You flew right in
Out of nowhere
Out of everything
I wanted, not this
Yet here we are
Where no one
Can touch us

Lucky

My whole life 
I have faced in the 
Blink of an eye 
A lash on the cheek 
Blown away 
By a chilly breeze 

Another Day

Last night I was 
Sure I'd die 
To not see the 
Next day, leaving 
Everyone who's 
Dear to me 
Behind, but 
This morning 
I woke up 

Discourse

Catch my fleets 
Before floating off 
Force'm down 
A big swig 
I'm not here 
Anymore, don't want 
To set off on this 
Course, coarse as 
I am already 
Another turn another 
Life to end 

Soot

Mouse me 
Douse me 
Hold me close 
To the fire 
I won't mind 
I will know 
Your purpose 
And my heart 
Will char 

Jump

i need to get out
of this bone prison,
step away from what
life brings before me,
break through these
flesh fences, thrash
everything i hold dear,
the decay in my veins,
that spreading of the
wretched fever,
time to make a go of
it, once more

Blue Moon

once i turn off the tv
at night
and the silence
just hits me
i notice that it's
freeing
so soothing
the buzzing in my ears
blood pumping
pipes hissing
a faraway motorcycle growling angrily
the screaming of a train in agony
i can hear now
those hidden sounds
deep inside of me
stories
only for me
my life
for me
and me to share

Hunter

let me catch them
on their careless thoughts
thought carelessly, until
i can flash my light
flush them out and
smack them over the head, wielding
my mighty words
on which i step in
save the day
and just crush them
crush them dead
in the eye of their followers

Out There

Why I’ve Started Writing Naked – I think Robert Cormack needs to pay his energy bill — he keeps coming back to being cold when he is naked and how that is supposed to help him write better.

Haruki Murakami’s Five Favorite Books – According to Alfred Birnbaum, one of Haruki Murakami’s English translators, Haruki Murakami is “an American writer who happens to write in Japanese.” If I were Haruki Murakami, I would fire Birnbaum on the spot. Anyway, apparently these are some books that inspired Haruki Murakami.

The Presence Prison – How to work asynchronously and how presence can fuck up your flow. You can’t stay ‘Away’ for too long, now can you?

Your attention didn’t collapse. It was stolen – We are losing the ability to be present. Of course it depends on who you hang out with, but I definitely see it around me.

Holding my Breath – Jonathan Becket is struggling with not blogging — and blogging about it.

Mind Over Matter

i don't think i like
my scary body
it has a mind of its own and
my opinion
on matters of health
are of no consequence

as far as that asshole is concerned
i could just fuck off
and die
