Truth shies on approach
You have to sneak up on it
by sitting quite still

Day shift.
I wake without my dream.
Lay down & try to go back.
A truncheon urges me on.
I cannot speak their dreamless dirge but understand that beating baton.
See others talking to the sky & tying ribbons
on tree branches.
God is here.
I've crossed over.
Dream done.

I found a corner, in the
abandoned room,
where the clocks have long since
unwound,
and where the stillness dusts
the mantel. the
walls shed, the
webs hang, the
air has settled into familiar piles..
Brian Gallagher retweeted
People are flowers
half life's spent in bed
waking for their dew.
When we feed on the seeds
of the secrets we keep
we wither our sleep
in the longing for darkness
far from the truth of the sun.
Do not be afraid
to be open as the day
to blossom as you.

Where our beloved.
To the mist in a hollow
Little droplets of dew.
Such thought creates memory,
Thus life whispers, forever.

You always matter
but Einstein says you also
always energy

come, let’s get lost
beyond this tattered horizon
in a new sky & unused sunshine
you bring a pup,
cup & some salts
i will hunch jokes,
sugar & coffee beans
come, let’s get lost
disowning adam-eve & everything
that has walked earth,
except love

On July 21 1925 “Dry Agents” raided Robber Baron after receiving tips that bootleggers used the cave. Then promptly got lost in it.

Strive to be sincere
Make it a science, since we're
all experiments

Miraculous things
come out of the blue. I've moved
house into the blue
#haikuchallenge move
Brian Gallagher retweeted
I dwell upon.. the eves of my life
my memories
becoming, like ash
like snow-lines falling
even, with a moonlight
my grandmother's clock on a mantle
chimed
in quarter-hours of dust
I hold this life
like powder in my hands
I feel my days shift softer
in this cemetary.. of sands

these bare-backed postcards
collected promises
we each meant to keep

through naked branches
the sky no longer pretends
to care how it looks

Shops vacant
No one around
Only sign of life
Silent autumn leaves
Tumbling down
Even they
Are already dead
Night bus trundles past
Driver behind his mask
Where have the dreamers gone
Darkness sleeps alone
Who turned off the light
And who will mourn
This ghost town

my bathroom spider
each morning an undoing
of her nighttime spin

Enchanted spirits
dance in the autumn
Composites and colours
shaking the trees
in the veil
below the mountain
Certainty of life
going on
Lost in the hypothetical
of ghosts and passions
and the magnificence
of stone

Mind's a ghost mirror
A concept is not a thing
It's only a think

The world is raw bliss
overcooked by too much mind
