In the Studio
Recording a new EP: Singing Is Contagious. Surreal and funky, with an edge of post-punk and my usual atmospherics. More to come.
Poem: “Joy/Grime” (2007)
Spinning, whirling dancers in the alley. Dresses turn and bloom, dragging through the grime. Joyful, smiling, dirty skin colliding. City walls are echoing, for we are not yet dying. Concrete calling, precarious and falling. Dancers stretch their limbs like flowers from the cracked sidewalk, marking passing time; pulling joy from grime.

Poem: “Get Up” (2010)
Get up out of your corner. Digging at rocks and shattered nerves won’t lift you up. Get up out of your corner. My fallen child, what have you become? You used to be a little god— self-determined, or so you believed, as you danced on the edge of a blue crisis. Get up out of your corner.

Poem: “In Utero” (2014)
I pray my efforts be fruitful enough; my habits be strong enough; You be kind enough I not lead my child to grief. I pray my habits be strong enough; my foresight be long enough; when the chasm opens up I not lead my child to grief. I pray my foresight be long enough; the signs be clear enough; when the demons decide to come I can help my child learn to be free. I pray my efforts be fruitful enough; my habits be strong enough; You be kind enough I not lead my child to grief.
