Where the air is thin.

It is better to learn early
of the inevitable depths,
for then sorrow and death
take their proper place in
life, and one is not afraid.

California Dreams
If you want to dream and live come with me
I’ll take you to a place so beautiful
We’ll both escape and go over there
If you don’t want to dream then you can stay here
Hollywood realizes your dreams in front of a green screen
We’ll see the sunset and forget about wars
Come to California with me my queen
You could think that the world is yours
You’ll see stars not in the sky, but in bars
Huge skyscrapers that are not buildings
You’ll forget about all your scars
Come to California with me girl
Record your own life story in a studio
You’ll meet some people that are so hooked on drugs
It has its disadvantages, but I liked it
Let’s realize our California dreams

The world is not to be put in order,
the world is order. It is for us to put
ourselves in unison with this order.

White-winged Dove On Saguaro — Image by kenne
Alexa, shuffle my Pandora stations —
I stream music most of the day,
sometimes it becomes indistinct,
like the sound of wind chimes,
the cooing of white-wing doves.
Alexa, stop!

What’s Going On In There? Leave a comment

Huffy Henry hid the day,
unappeasable Henry sulked.
I see his point,—a trying to put things over.
It was the thought that they thought
they could do it made Henry wicked & away.
But he should have come out and talked.
All the world like a woolen lover
once did seem on Henry’s side.
Then came a departure.
Thereafter nothing fell out as it might or ought.
I don’t see how Henry, pried
open for all the world to see, survived.
What he has now to say is a long
wonder the world can bear & be.
Once in a sycamore I was glad
all at the top, and I sang.
Hard on the land wears the strong sea
and empty grows every bed.

my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since.”

“If thought corrupts language,
language can also corrupt thought.”
— George Orwell
He gazes through the
rained soaked window
into his confused mind.
Lonely in the moment
turning his head away
from my open hand.
He was not prepared
to be rejected and
broken up by life.

I can see them spacing
to find room, looking
so much alike it’s nearly
impossible to count them.
