Spaceman
What more do I have to offer you? What more could I give? What more do you want? What other piece of myself have I not shared? What words, what thoughts, what acts have I not devoted to you? What blood, what sweat, what seed have I not given to you? What flesh would satiate … Continue reading Spaceman
The Ruins
We pushed South, running like mad. Slave labor pools running the land; like insect colonies, burrowing in the Earth. Red rain fell from a blue sky, in a land rich with gold, cocaine and mistrust. It was a white man's problem that was visited on the rest of the world; like the misplaced anger … Continue reading The Ruins
Time of The Shaman
He prays towards Sirius at dusk. Draped in strips of colored cloth, Spartan in fashion, hanging with bright feathers and bones of reptiles. He is calling on the universe, on that which lies above and below. Sometimes long dead elder gods, or ancestral spirits; he coaxes them down from the astral plane.

Just stop talking. Stop cutting. Stop grinding. Stop burning and hear with a child's mind new first lessons, for … Continue reading When They Speak

The Sun, it's power unfelt during Winter's long embrace, now beholds the hills and valleys of a naked Earth. Its ardor intense and welcomed. In between cool rain showers that wash away the layers of cold weariness and … Continue reading A Naked Earth
Little Mother
Hello, can you help me to grow? Out of the grave, out of sorrow? Little Mother - Light shines always, interred inside you - like a life raise me from the earth - your heart of rebirth. Draw me from my shroud and shadow, give me the love I'm too sick to show. Little … Continue reading Little Mother
Paradise
Itinerant walls converge in corners, confining the eye to civilized angles. It’s nothing to be obtuse about, that is the way we progress. Even our curves are sculpted by scalpels; ripped, shaped and reformed, into something other than human. Other than us. Just not good enough. God’s perfect creation, was merely a good place to … Continue reading Paradise
