dashes and scratches - carved names in the ashes

2007-09-08T02:35:52Z

looking back, one cannot seem to recollect where they've come from. where one feeble instance turns into another, all the rest mimic themselves in such a way that no one shows any notice. to trace back such steps - the last morsels of our childho...

leaning over buildings, the ground never looked so tall

2007-01-21T17:48:28Z

a fond yawn and our emotions stretch out their joints once again. lying on the ground, belly up, snorting little puffs of sun whose taste is all too much like the snow from last may. turning over, hands gripping to the stalks of grass, leaving te...

each thought patched up the holes in the sky

2006-11-05T21:41:04Z

days grow colder and the seasons grow younger. we stare through windows at the colours that change and fade into non-existance as the sun beams bleaker with each passing day. we hear of old friends - lovers - the tales they spurt that no longer ac...

the seagulls only thirst for knives

2006-10-18T01:49:02Z

all runs rampant and the things we believe become nothing more than makeshift atrocities stamped with our own seal of approval. we look at them - these people, these scoundrels - and wonder how they took our lives and contorted them into plasticin...

down here the weather's fine, but the vinegar's blistered our eyes

2006-10-06T02:55:37Z

teetering between one extreme and the next, days pass and you wonder if they were ever even there. you stalk the ground looking for traces of eraser residue, thinking someone made a mistake and cleared the wrong portions of the portrait that is yo...

they pluck our teeth like lashes and make wishes on each black void

2006-10-05T03:57:29Z

you can't look away - your eyes are tapered open. similar to those days in your youth when you would pedal down hills on bicycles, only to realize the handlebars were holding you and your legs were being forced into motion. it goes back to the sim...

raise high the sunbeams - winter has come into effect

2006-10-04T01:22:00Z

we grow listless under the sun; a drought that glues our skin to our veins and tongues to the highbeams of our mouths. children gather at our feet, collecting the saliva that drips from our chins in thick globs as it has already turned to paste; g...

we'll wear our shame beneath the trees

2006-10-03T03:11:00Z

we gallavant through streets, completely null of the whirlwind world passing by us and adapt to our instincts of invincibility as time runs backwards, in circles. what's to become of us is not to be known - not for the time being. i suppose that'...

i'll build us a rowboat and we'll sail to the moon - but don't expect to come back soon.

these forgotten concepts, these rendered thoughts, one can merely think of all that was not. or all that was, but went unnoticed. i've been weighed down by complications, lately. questions, more so, that spark up ideas and thoughts of things that ...

one step forward and i'm back where i started.

2006-10-01T03:09:03Z

i haven't been able to recognize much of anything lately. when i thought i had everything all untangled and figured out, even just relatively, life decided to pull a sharp turn on me. now i'm stuck on this sideroad that nobody has ever ventured on...
