chapel chapters.

 

on the road

kismet.the coutner-collision of praxis and virtue         and

you.you, buttoned up

soul       waiting by my back door

for the                  freedom found

in quick tongues

and

theory.

providence placed us here.

 

Forethought-before I forgot to tell you

of the        wind                      that tasted of

cigar ash and

the          sacerdotalism

slapped across my                    back-              an

unwanted       burden at

thirteen.

 

I am        bluelung

and                              sea    –   salt            soaked,

flat lined          on the shores

and choking up handfuls of

sand.

Dark blue aesthetic

 

Inside of me, there are holy words. I want to brand them on your back , but I love you too much.

 

And drink to forget<<I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

  1. This was interesting and cool. The way you used the pictures as a sort of collage was not something I expected from a blog, but it was a really nice way of relating the words of your poem to the images the readers get while reading. I think you should continue this type of thing. The pictures work with the typography as well. Great job:)

  2. I love these photos. The content and colors are nice. I also like the poetry between each photo. Your writing has always interested me, because it can toe the line of cliche but then its so absurd, bizarre, or confusing, that I can only focus on the words—like bluelung. Very nice.

  3. This is really beautiful and I feel the need to reread it, to dig this time, to fully understand. You’re truly a gifted poet.
