Heylel

Heylel

A Dadaist concept
Of a ti-82
Floats behind my sclera.

The insomniac’s struggles
As evening approaches
Are overtaken by my autonomicals.

Dark comforts,
The birds take their jurist roles,
As I break and nap.

Waking minutes later
To the benzocaine burn
Of my freshly numbed cold sore.

I tap my feet,
Fantasizing in the surreal,
Wanting to create.

In this meditative state,
I realize the next step is coming,
And I must take its course.

Good Morning, and a photo from my Marine Days

Good Morning, and a photo from my Marine Days

In case you didn’t know, I was in the Marine Corps for about two years before I was separated for Medical reasons. I served as a 4341, Combat Correspondent. Needless to say, I took quite a few cool pictures during that time. Here’s one to start off the day! Good morning and Semper Fidelis

Dear John

Dear John

Dear John,
I’ve seen the rain,
Too much, perhaps.

At first, it calms,
But I miss the stars.
Nothing worse than a black sky.

On those nights I think.
I write, I paint.
But I don’t sleep.

Eventually the black turns grey,
As my part of earth
Turns towards the sun once again.

That’s when I go out
For my morning cigarette,
And see the worms haven’t slept either.

I rarely give them thought.
Dodging them on the asphalt,
Keeping my bare feet clean.

They saw the rain,
And lost everything,
And I give them no thought.

Oh, John.
Have you seen the rain?
Grass turned to mud?

I think you have,
But you watch the fresh grass grow.
You look at the clearing and the humid sun.

You light your cigarette,
And dodge the worms,
Giving them no thought.

You smile at the new day,
While I’m stuck in the storm.
I envy you.

Just got a copy of the 10th anniversary edition of Myst

Not that that has any real influence on this post. However, I do look forward to playing it, seeing what all the hype was about

My Kevlar sweetheart,
My violent angel,
Let us go together,
And fuck peace.

Take my hand and watch as I do,
See the fear my name invokes,
The shaking heads,
My bloody hands.

Let us go together
Into the void of inhumanity,
Embrace your base drives,
And tear a fool’s throat open.

We say no to sacrificial guilt.
My love,
Let us walk the juxtaposition,
We’ll live as they die.

Your hands are trembling, dear.
Do not let them see your fear.
The weak feed off the excess of the strong,
Starve them with your bravery.

I’ll be here to the end.
I’ll support your stride,
And stem your blood loss.
So what if tomorrow never comes?

I have you now.
