The weight of the ocean floor Pulls at your bones. Bees singIn your ear canal. We now liveIn a time of smoldering wicks.Things, undefined, come to A close. The threshold is neverCrossed; they sink away, andLife becomes a gradient. A letter is pressed to paper Again, again, it is grown pale.Even in type, things turn … Continue reading A Time of Smoldering Wicks – A Poem

Manifestopheles: An Investigation into the Faustian Nature of Adaptation

Looking back at it there are certainly things I would like to change, pathways I would like to explore further, and once promising lines of inquiry that now seem like dead ends. There are errors, … Continue reading Manifestopheles: An Investigation into the Faustian Nature of Adaptation
A Consummation Devoutly To Be Wish’d -The Speech of Hamlet, The Desire of Ending
To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and … Continue reading A Consummation Devoutly To Be Wish’d -The Speech of Hamlet, The Desire of Ending
Anonymous Democracy
I haven't been particularly political until very recently in my life. I still am not entirely sure what "politics" actually is. My gut instinct is that it involves the decisions that determine our everyday lives as a group (the "our" and "group" being members of a nation, state, city, etc.) Yet, decisions seem lacking today. … Continue reading Anonymous Democracy

All Around an Ocean – A Poem
All Around an Ocean In the sky the tea is burning My mouth flooding with sores and cuts That came from the rims of plastic cups My glasses are on the table I want to grip them and squeeze The world until it all blurs and nothing can be seen anymore I recall a time, … Continue reading All Around an Ocean – A Poem
The Function of the Weird
This moment, which I might have been waiting for my entire life all unknowing - this moment of an encounter with the most beautiful, the most terrible thing I might ever experience - was beyond me. … Continue reading The Function of the Weird
Compost – A Poem
Compost poetry is dead, a corpse in the field it is fertilizing, in the process of becoming ground for the new where poetry’s eyes once were there is a stir - a broodling of eggs and small moons to hatch into i know not what it is a tongue-biting kind of mystery a virile, pregnant … Continue reading Compost – A Poem
