A night bleeds,
always
dreams crease
and bend around
your head
filling words
and spaces
with unknown
lives lived in
another world.

Endless Tragedies Coalescing [a poem]
and they strike through my heart, like bullets, like shards of glass
an endless procession of death and murder, there is no ignoring how
the violent acts reverberate, pulsing through the inner cores like an
epicenter, an atomic bomb. I lay wasted, recovering in the rubble.

City Walk [a poem]
slick cement steps rise from broken
slabs slathered in stuck gum, garbage,
and shit. a reek of piss from a stained
corner, the edges are always dirty so it’s
best to look up, but watch where you step.
I’ve been prepping for my upcoming Poetry Reading at the Utah Arts Festival. I’m not looking forward to leaving SF for a weekend but I know it’ll be a good change of pace to get out for a bit. While I prep, I’ve been taking long walks, trying out coffee shops in downtown SF, and reading more.

Poetry Practice: Word of the Day “Dreary”
Poetry practice: create a list of words with a theme, pick a word of the day and write an impromptu poem. For today, I have chosen “dreary”.
Dreary eyes scan a sunless airspace.
Gray clouds suffocate skyscrapers.
A drizzle of rain slicks cement, steel, and glass.
Cityscape comprised of pulverized dreams.
