Birth

Gas station street art: oil and water. Iphone SE. 2.10.22.

The Birth

Eyes squeezed
Liquid
Pours into the mouth
No matter how tight it may be

Murky depths and water
Flood the slitted eyes
Death in its black and hollow cave
Extends a hand, quickly
Slapped back by the light
Which is growing yellow
Fat and bright

Wraps itself around the scene
Like a cobra
Shedding its last skin

The breath which was muted
Comes fast and loud and rough
Eyes burst open
Liquid spills and rolls down little hills

A final sigh as breath is held
Smiles are passed around like Cuban cigars
In the other room

More liquid
Filling and spilling from eyes
The baby cries

E C H O

Self port. w/ my frame echoing the guitar.

The brand: coat-hanger brand, fresh off the fire. Gangrene set in so I had to carve out the infection with a serrated knife in the shower. Good times! And true story. 😎


The Beard

Bestie hug on Valentine’s Day: that beard!

What is it about a man’s beard that makes everything better in a woman’s world?! Ha…that sounded terribly sexist, but wait feminazis! Let me clarify. I can speak for nobody but myself.

(And on that note, if anything up there offends you (whoever’s reading this), um…you’re probably reading the wrong blog. I make no promises here and I appease no one. I write for me, not the public. I simply allow the public to peek into my life, but make no mistake, I say what I want here.)

So I’ll clarify; what is it about Josh’s beard that quiets the world and mutes the blinding chaos and noise of everyday life? That beard is EPIC. I can sink my face into it and it holds me there in some fantastic space in time- nothing moves- it could be forever for all I know…and then I breathe, and exhale. 😌

Love is a powerful thing, man. It never forgets. Anger and hatred- they’re deaf and blind. But love? Love never forgets. 🔥


The Talos Principle

Since I accidentally murdered my (almost) $900 VR-Ready HP OMEN gaming laptop a month ago, I’ve been stuck using my Iphone SE for everything. Photoshoots, editing, business letters, online applications, and maaaaany other things- but not least of all- gaming! I’m an avid gamer from the gnarly days of Timex computers, the BBS, SYSOPS, and DOS. Definitely old school.

I was shocked to learn Talos (The Talos Principal) was successfully ported to an Iphone APP. 😲 And my Iphone SE can run it seamlessly- absolutely flawless. Naturally, I’m about to go MIA again for weeks, buuuuut if your name starts with an R or a (MALT D) -I won’t be far; promise. Yeah, my list is SHORT. I keep it that way.

For anyone who hasn’t yet played The Talos Principal, I can’t recommend it highly enough. You’ll need a decent enough system/rig or an Iphone 15+ so if you do, play this phenomenal game! My favourite game of all time.

K, that’s all. 😁
