Something about Ships & Anatomy & Seamstresses, or how we must find our new hearts.
I carry around a new heart, it is smaller than my old one. It flutters like a little bird inside my ribcage. In the process of loosing my old heart, I moved many times. It took a thousand days for me to find my new heart. I was upon the ship, indeed, I traversed waters […]
Letters to Rilke
Dear Sir, I’ve tried not to send it. Correspondence slips easy this way. Into the drawer. There: Sweet stain under coffee rings. The manifolds of this wooden table are mauled now with plasticity: (Oak fibers embedded with plastic.) Elastic: this bone bends easy after a hundred years. Later: lately I question the methods of synergy. […]

I don’t think an air conditioner is going to solve how I feel about the world today.
In the heat, I try to make myself feel less awkward. I speak more, my complacency melts and becomes less hard shell. In fact, I often become aggressive. Imagine that. I am no more a turtle when the sun blazes! I become mean, I become fire! I grow teeth longer than thumb nails, and believe […]
Saints, and today I didn’t feel too lonely.
It was a lucky day; the air was not too cold for walking across the long bridge to my home. It was St. Valentines Day, which is a day in the past I have not been particularly fond of, due to growing up in a house with parents whom had celebrated the day profusely since […]
