Cast A NetCast a net into the sky,Toss into the white not blue,Sky that feels like water looks.Cast a net into the sky,Casually pull apart its soft conceal,Uncover fields of pearlescent fluffs washed in light.Cast a net into the sky,It’s weight separates the violet flower from pod,Releasing milky sap, the recipe for clouds of butterflies.Cast…

OBSERVATIONS #13 – 11.2.24
Taken In, A Fable A lady, on her way home from a political rally, found a frozen snake. Feeling compassion, she put the snake under her warm bosom, took it home where she wrapped it in silk, fed it honey, and milk.

OBSERVATIONS #12 – 10.27.24
In ProximityStaged by design, Neither an absolute unicum, Nor a sculptural continuum.A critical mass, the arena set in a meandering sprawl,Seen as a monument to hierarchy,Continual expansion of the false emperors power,Constructed around dark notions of axial age and fear of ruin.

Dirty chucks
I dreamt that I was walking down the halls of an unfamiliar school. The school may have been unfamiliar but the way that I carried myself in my pupil days was not. I’ve always had a big spirit, but growing up I didn’t always know that or know my purpose or how valuable it was….
Roses are red, water is cleansing
She walked along the riverbank Heart drenched with sorrow Eyes searching for a savior Mind wandering through flashing life memories She wore white for this occasion As if she were arriving for a baptism Only she was preparing for her ending She was over it This thing called the human experience The more she thought…
