Favorite Quote:
Words are really beautiful, but they're limited. Words are very masculine, very structured. But the voice is the netherworld, the darkness, where there's nothing to hang onto. The voice comes from a part of you that just knows and expresses and is.


There should be a switch
or a lever
welded to my ribcage.
One that I could pull
in times of distress
or when I’m feeling particularly lost
Because
as I watch the subtle morning dew
slide across a single blade of grass
like the microscopic snapshot
of a heavy ocean wave,
or how my infantile neighbor
scoops earthworms
from the soggy dirt,
preluding archaeological ventures
below a misty mountaintop metropolis,
I fear
there is little to write about.
