Headlines of the nation sway in the wind. They wave through gracious space and hang on our neighbors’ flagpole. We adorn them, those black print reams of words and thoughts that prideful, mount the helm of the basking sun. Headlines read into many things. They spell the nation with urgency, curving words, donning false pretense, … Continue reading The Fourth Estate

Red, White, and Bruised
The sum of jokes and hypocrisy is our land of peace and prosperity. Eyes like red iron vent hate and instigate the fights we pine for. Tempers like jet white streaks scream across third world skies. Hearts drown blue, the skin a sickened hue as the waters of war engulf our once free youth. The … Continue reading Red, White, and Bruised
State of the Mind
It is in this hour we unite. Though we are separate, we peer deep into the chasm: humanity, a full and vacant space, voids of mind, we acknowledge nothing, see nothing, and feel nothing. It is in this hour, the false power approaches. It dwells inside the land, an alien lost and dirty with gun … Continue reading State of the Mind

The Fall of September
Distillation of the history in perceptions collided, scoped for legion, collective and hive, integrated inherently, regardless of opinion, deception sets sail beyond the rising sun. Vast orchids blossom, blood red and orange, daffodils fuchsia, peach blossom fire, fiercely pinken darkening sky, the lunar dream solidifying in the minds, the abundant illumination crowning insights to selected … Continue reading The Fall of September

Severance Rebirth
The shadows of summers passed fall like leaves turn to dust, indifferent to nature's flow, caring not for synchronicities or coincidences, a demarcation of written history and history being written. The waning bagpipes stutter to a halt and rattle away like the pipedreams cooked up nightly by sleepwalkers, a daylight reverie, a trance induced by … Continue reading Severance Rebirth
