The Heavy Wait

Unwavering Instrumentals

Of Silence and Snow

Address Us In Cool

Flurried Fragments

Casting Plaster Paragraphs

Of Quiet Notes Which

Lay, Quilting Georgia Flats

And Other Places

In Need Of No Great Equalizer

For True Turbulence, There is none.

A Make-shift

White Washed World

Momentarily Cleaned of impurities

A soft Caucasian Solace

To be muddied by Sullen Shoes

Tracks of progression

Translate into streams

Of Colored Chorus

And malevolent reward

Melt down into Moth-Eaten Mistakes

Classic Chords of Speculation

With great intent,

Comes unclaimed consequences

That the disciples of silence

Will surely be back

To Once Again Incubate.

Beautiful yet Sinister, Like Your First

Slowly With No Emotion,

The Composition Stacks Bit by Bit

Rhythmically putting weight

On that which will Happily fall.

Memories of Ash

I love the infected nature
In which pictures burn
The high degree of
Chromatic mixtures
Of papers and plastics boil
Smoke filled memories and feeling
Rise and curl and dissipate into
Moisture filled air cutting 
Though blended blue skies
And chocolate nights
Feeding redwood fern forests
Sheltering the cool crows
Directed by mountain tops
Snow melting to trickle
To stream, champion cricks 
To rivers and to sea
Muting the stern ambers
Last cry of warmth
one last flicker
As the frozen exposure ignites
Naked passions spawning
Forget me not fears
And tears for loved ones
Who`ve simply just melted away
In a vast array of boxed
Cracked smiles and heavy poses
That will now simply 
And quietly fade into 
The comfortable chest
The open arms 
The safe keeping of oblivion.
