Stroll past the neon signs on the buildings of Tokyo With its sand castle skyline making a b-line to shelters down below Thin paper models and army men cast in green The flickering light of a calcium torch rising up on the silver screen…

Where did you go, man on a mission, path of omission Out of control, lack of contrition, where did you go You hid the clouds, black helicopter, waiting forever A man the crowd, a plant or an actor, where did he go You were caught there…

All the eyes are staring at me Flay the sacrificial lamb Angry barking dogs in cubicles Are lining up to bite my hand Pouring meds right down our throats And surfing the big sad Lashing out a spiteful scrape ‘cause everyone’s on edge…

Cross my heart, and hope to live forever If we’re wishing we might as well jump Bittersweet, sepia tones rolling down the canyon, Turning my head So long this long refrain So long we’ll meet again Flying past though leave no trails…

Queen maybe doors ajar, shall we take dinner and a movie Can’t wait for shooting stars, when all the galaxy’s for choosing One step to the floor One step maybe more King certain in cement, no phantom stair to keep you guessing, Your…

Can you feel it, in your teeth It is hiding, smoldering In the shadows, of your mind Where there's smoke there's surely fire Are you evil, in disguise Feel the acid, start to rise Ever shameful, hide the guilt Always lapping at the flames…

Pointed sextant toward the north star True direction is where you are Roads of Rome lead to elsewhere Can we go, no echo, no opinion Unreal show, on your phone, no one’s watching A din of quiet desperation Soothing blanket fort vacation…

Bit the apple through the core, then made sure to taste the poison You can’t fare thee well no more, when you’re out on the horizon’s edge Don’t stare at the sun, an Icarus flight, we’re all meant to come, back down. Shoot an arrow off…

Out in the field I spy a rabbit One of the ordinary kind You never thought you’d meet the neighbors, did you You never thought you’d take a drive I see you now you’re running fast You’re turning inside out Caught the blade, shovel’s edge…

When the shivers go right down your spine like a river Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast Brace, the stormfront breaching outside, Every tree, bends like a dragons tail We lean our bodies toward the headwinds turning our…

I came awake to watch the sun drop Counting fortunes in the stars hope for aurora borealis Or freeze inside just where we are I don’t know what you know There is no Rosetta Stone We left the party in the garden I’d stay, but couldn…

In the fading light, I compose a line And then tongue tied tangled down upside Unbroken Unspoken Better than the words I would have stumbled over If you read my eyes, you could catch my vibe Then I wouldn’t have to die inside

How’s the saying go, isn’t it an echo or a stain But words get telephoned, caught up in some other’s long refrain Heavens catch your gaze, barter for your faith, how pretty the horizon How far does it go, the unintended consequence of sight…

Hold my hand get through this I dissect your iris And behind the lens there is an omen Here I thought I knew you But I’m stuck on preview You were hiding in my peripheral vision In my dreams, reaching forward, falling backward, out my…

Your fear took the sky away, we’re stumbling in the dark You ran to the mountain top, sounding the alarm I’ll hold the mirror at the other end, a jewel from it hung sword points highest to the emperor’s sun A clash of the heavens pair…

Lost half of my castle, we dug the moat, we built the walls But the waves don’t care, they’re busy shushing us senseless It’s a wonder, forever building here in the sand How the universe don’t care The pen to the page, part and parcel…

You’ve got a lot to say and sleeves to sew We don’t see eye to eye don’t you know It’s not a coin but two lone planets circling our own suns Where is the salve to soothe our aching hearts Suffice to say we’re better apart The tattered flag…

Rain on my roof, constant tapping, sounds like there’s invaders outside always marching, always shouting, pouring down hour glass counting Half dissected, introverted, I don’t mean to pry Past protracted, so exhausted, I don’t even try…

As the quiet burns on the midnight oil And my footsteps making cracks in the floor For the monsters lurking under my bead For the tinnitus ringing in my head It’s the pill in hands that I hold To Kill the tremors and bury the cold Carry…

Might as well sew your shadow to me, ghost of myself and drenched in caffeine Mirror becomes a distant warning I’m entering the uncanny valley You can’t pass this thread through my eye Patience failing, no compromise A reeling confrontation…
