this means more than you know

"The internal silence you are experiencing is a secret blessing. Stillness leads to insight. Lack of ego encourages the love of simple pleasures. When your mind shuts the fuck up, all of a sudden, the world opens and serenades you. The buzz of the ignition of a fluorescent light, the annoying brrurrrrrr of a passing Harley (I fucking hate Harleys by the way), the drips of water from your beautiful leaky faucet, life-giving prods and pokes, eye-opening smacks... You are alive.

Where will you go? What will you do? Who will you touch? Much of this is out of your hands! Your only solace is the fact that you are solid and beautiful and always radiant in a crowd."

the glow in high tide

we abandoned the boardwalk
and maneuvered our bikes sideways more than anything
towards the land's torn, crinkled edge

the absense of stars made the glowy foam three times brighter
maybe more

our tires slished through the moon's mirror
and we zigzagged infinity symbols in sand
as permanent as all that is said to be lasting

behind us lit hills stretched fog wings from their spines
and the glow, the waves' glow
covered you and me in the ecstasy of night

tribute to hemingway

they asked me to write my story in six words:

the song within sings no more.
