    Was Brighton Pier Mere Gallows?

    No one belongs in my   dreams more than you,   crush my burning lips like ashes   lust is the crematorium’s encore   everyone a whore to skin and bone     At end of Brighton Pier  we shared a bottle of cheap wine  whip'lashed heads upon shoulders  like sniper bullets shrouded in Sinatra     There was no poetry...

    More Than Just A Contented Man

    More Than Just A Contented Man   Dear lord, I want you in the sauna, slippery salty and wet with your hair matted    and several shades darker .. Clinging to your shoulders and your back like sun shy ivy    crawling over church walls .. Dear lord, if only I could...

    Built a foundation on a fault line Temperamental bias stirs beneath  No substance flows from the vine Every shortcut is laced with grief   When the walls tumbled down It revealed a foolish arrogance  Under that smile lives a frown A string-puppet born to dance   Rain pours from...

    • First, I hope you had a fantastic and soul-filling birthday. I have read this one 3 times now. I finish, sigh, scroll back up and read it again. It sinks into the mental marrow and stirs thoughts. You are a master of layers, my friend. I’m glad this one bubbled out of the “not yet” vault. It needed sunlight and shadows on its bones

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was a good birthday overall, played some piano, talked to J.J. Burton, and spent time with the wife and kids. Thank you for the b-day wishes. I definitely write in layers, probably because everything I observe has layers, including myself and humans in general. I come by it naturally I guess. lol. The “not yet” section has tons of writes in it, although some need work or at the very least a tweak or two. Always enjoy your commentary my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Damian this song on mortality and the grim reaper was one of your very best. The sheer lyrical strength was formidable here. I loved every roaring line. You really made this come alive for me. I am amazed.

I’m amazed after 35 summers of doing this writing thing I haven’t lost my love for the craft.
