TUMBLR.
🕑 Added 2018-05-31 17:45:59 +0000 UTC Up on Tumblr today is a stream of consciousness poem; It is a reflective construction of my experiences during my most recent tour. Often, when provocative thoughts come to my mind, I write them down. When it feels right, I tease out the concept (which often makes itself an apparent mood/theme in my writing). I sew the thoughts together, elaborate, and refine. This poem is pretty much straight from my mind to my keyboard. I'm not used to presenting work this way, so this is a new mode of expression. If you scroll through Tumblr, or if you were with me in any capacity during April, you might be able to connect some verses to their experiences. However, much of it will be a mystery, and that's exactly how I like it.Just a taste;
" We must wait
For the cover of dusk
To sneak into
Fervid waters
And soak our screaming skin
Drawing
Our feminine boundary
In foam
The boundary runs deeper
Than the bleeding lacerations
That trace a grid along our flesh
Like a topographic map
We lie, votive, into rock depressions
While Artemis keeps
A vigilant eye.
You can drive a man to the water
But you can't save his camera
From the desert floor
Once the lunacy sets in
Mama nature
Didn't sign no
Model release
And she is ruthless
In her own court.
Desert river
Is an illusory snake
Its cool, smooth licks
Are a lie
I am lying with a thousand leeches
Thirsty-mouthed creatures
And it almost doesn't bother me.
/I'm thirsty, too."
