Dead beat Heart beat

In my head I am constantly updating this blog - in practice I rarely update.  However, I do occasionally check the blog as if someone else will update.

Maybe posting old writing will get the gears going.

new time
step by


step  over
land
marks places &
a time
  when


making our way
through
a man
made
path
  cracked concrete
        steps
left
  right
     until we reach


a grove nestled next
to a ship
of know-
     ledge over
a fallen tree
trunk where dirt
has collected
     days
weeks have matured
to months, hand in hand-
some lengths of time


     january leaps over
     only to march
     through showers
     and may flowers bloom


but are forgotten
  underfoot
     petals are
     crushed thinking
     they love mand erring
     they love me not


& only leaves
crackle under flip
flops an occasional high


heel

and the dirt
is unforgiving with holes
branches stretched to
far places


     and a hand
     or a bird
     or rain
     or time


has broken little
wooden arms

standing in
piece by piece
  a silence
  conducts a song
  less beauty
that seems to tune
out the thoughts of others under
  standing seems long
  gone


day to
day today
often feels
like the age
of the rebel
with
out a cause without
a rebellion
        that now lets
        us walk
back &  forth

on weekdays i get to read this:

"feeling deflated,
i walk up
and
down

the streets, were golden in my dream

and every step left me
feeling

guilty, wishing that the soles
would leave

no mark."
