Hush *a song
Gratitude AriseGrave of firefliesWhen darkness closes inWhen light and song grow dimWhy not pray about it?Pray about itWhen the voice tremblesAnd speech dissemblesWhy not stay about it?Stay about itAnd children without fathersLet out a restless cryWomen becoming mothersBreathe a long and heavy sighBirdies without feathersSpread their naked wings and flyNigh, nighNigh, nigh...Hush your shaky heart.-mmd. 2020

Scott Stillman *bonus set.
Taken a few years ago in Minneapolis, MN.This was during a very big transition in my life. I was living on the road full time, and a lot of my life back home was falling apart. When I was home, I spent most of my time with my grandfather, who was mourning the loss of my grandmother. We ate a lot of ice cream together! This is probably the most out of shape I have ever been. I used to be very self conscious about these images. The sadness and inse...

Late Night Desert Nudes
I've exhaustedMy body,Instrument of seductionRecycled disappointmentsRewarded in fleetingEngagementsExchangesMy body recitesTantalizing literatureVerbal topographyIn between breathsThe silence,The omission of wordsThat consents to everything.And the firm handThat administersLove and discipline,Sustenance and restraintIn an exhale.-mmd 2020Photographs by R Yokomoto in Nevada, 2016

Patron Packages
Hi friends,Please give some attention to this note, as it applies directly to you.I have had some issues communicating with you all about patron packages. I typically send out patron packages every 6 months.First: The last two months, I learned that Printique did not ship ANY of my orders. So I'm working on creating new packages for those patrons! Please accept my deepest apologies.Second: Whenever a new patron signs up, I write an email spec...

Living Painting - Tintypes
As you saw in my last post, my roommate Hope painted me based on a painting done by Kat Tobin. Then, my friend Anthony DiCaro came over and we made tintype portraits of the work. We set up a makeshift darkroom in my shower, and a studio in my sunroom. We made two plates after I washed the paint off, just for fun. Enjoy! XO.
Living Painting
Did I ever mention how I met my roommate?Her name is Hope, and she came to draw me during a nude session we call "Naked Church," because it is held in a historic church (which no longer holds religious services) on Sunday mornings. About a year later, she moved out on her own, and I was looking for a roommate.She and I get along wonderfully. She is quite mature for her age (19), holding two jobs while also attending culinary school. We sh...

Robe
Remember when you were made free?Free from behaviorEluding the bondage of a normalcyThat would never have you.Leapt from the table of social gracesEndless prattle, false politics, insipid fictionBanal expectations.Endless, empty fieldsRed wine, spillingIn a religious cascade.In your anonymity, free from historyYou could be whoever you wanted.Without the commitment. A changeling.A new behavior every moment.With the same, tired habits.The highway u...

If you are celebrating any holidays this week, I hope you are enjoying time with family.I spent extra time in Virginia last month for Thanksgiving, because I knew I wouldn't have the opportunity to see my mother or siblings on Christmas, due to work. I've been busy writing, and I'm enjoying this work very much. The other night, I had the opportunity to interview Johnny Cash's grandson, who is also a musician.I did get to spend Chr...
