A Thought for Every Raindrop
It's nice to be in the rain a little
thinking old songs, old laughs
pinned up on a stiff wall of memories
so they don't die so fast,
the tacs stay in
(but the pictures fade).
Once winter comes and I move
back to Peterborough,
favourite poetry town,
all those flashbacks will cripple,
won't have the strength to be as vibrant.
The brighter tomorrow becomes
the more yesterday darkens,
I now realize.
Here comes the percussion
of emergnecy, my heart's
bonebreaking rhythm
expelling senses found at the bridge
connecting life and unlife,
over a river of favourite moments
saved to be replayed as
conclusions.
So real,
the metamorphosis into shadow.
Wearing sneakers
on the wrong bus route,
white sneakers
absorbing reflecting identical
neon light liming the features
of someone
short
with hair shorter.
The face beneath explores
various muscle positions,
I love that kind of concentration
been watching it for 15 minutes,
person writing on cards,
probably something really exciting
I'll never know about.
Holy hic up's!
A new passenger's throat
pokes holes
into the quiet of the night bus.

Popped Speech Bubbles
Not what I wanted to say.
50% miscommunication,
25% wishing I could decode
things you are,
never going to understand.
Shouldn't have said that.
25% of my hardest attempts.
woke up
feeling half like me
(the half-life of now?)
blew my nose a lot
re-used the rags
had a shower
didn't wash hair
only back ends got wet
going to sleep
8:07am
naps turn my days into dreams
Everything's Always OK by WordsintheHead, literature
Literature
Everything's Always OK
"I ask for emotional stability
the universe sends me
bus transfer slips"
relax, sleep tonight is dry
calm
with love
and blankets
I am OK
today
tomorrow
we will see.
Fingers touching in the dark
turn nothingness into sparks,
bright nerve ending fireworks fly
to outer reaches of feeling
(going going gone - going)
no moonlight
strips bodily shape, we're
just life laced with sensation,
shadows with beating hearts.

Literature
Childgrowth Possibility
Little child,
baby Ewok face,
fresh fingers
hanging onto railing
close to mom
so close
fingers turn white at tips,
not ready to let go yet
let go someday
sadness (mothers)
turbulance (his)
eventual
stability, older, understanding,
done conflicting (both)

Literature
Spy Glass, Curious Monocle
I want to throw open your hairy skull
to watch the show inside,
the performance without props staged
or lines memorized,
your home alone mirror dance
that can be beautifully set free
like a vibrant firefly in your hands,
the twilight hero glowing in natural theatrics.
Sometimes I have no oxygen
from living in the sea
where my voice is just bubbles
that confuse even myself.
Sometimes the fish in the sea pass me by
for I am as still as a rock
while waves peel my layers away
until I am bones.
Sometimes I am bones
because my skin has died from lack of touch,
my infant soul digests my afflicted mind
when it is offered nothing more.
Sometimes I wander to deep
feeling around a windowless room
where nothing escapes,
driving myself endlessly mad
due to ages of reoccurring nightmares
that come and go to remind me
that I'll always be bones,
bones until my bones die too.
i've got a present for you and it's not so little.
the carrot string tied the city together where the edges were endless lonely bridges
thank you, but it was too short to memorize your muscle patterns and shoulder bones
i remember walking like we were
we were speeding, racing in silvers [you don't even exist except to fulfill me]
you had me all bent over
she told me she used to stand on chair arms screaming at concerts, flying on speed and coke.
I never wanted it to end.
pushed me down again and again
the only kind I don't mind
And down here there are always noises in the skies
Almost Broken Pieces by anextraordinarygirl, literature
Literature
Almost Broken Pieces
Insults splashed as battery acid on my cheeks.
I absorbed the milky venom,
viscous and rank,
because I "deserved" it.
Sickeningly sour stomach
near time of your arrival.
Dread of the words you'd shoot
to wound me,
I'd race to distract
with song,
verse,
art.
To build a fragile fortress of protection,
however unstable,
which might shield from poison and pain.
I grew rebellious.
I desired freedom from your vitriol.
You deserve to hold no power over your
WIFE
when you behave like a monster.
You wish you'd have broken my jaw?
You indescribable bastard.
A calm,
A light,
Pulling her into,
A chaotic sense of peace;
How is it that -
When horror is abundant,
One must only reach the eye of the storm,
to witness it's unstable beauty?
A ripple,
A reflection,
Drawing her attention to,
A sense of stillness,
A sense of time;
How is it that -
When even time seems to stop,
To wait for only a moment,
That still the earth spins?
A smile,
A hush,
Mother Nature won't reveal,
What we truly wish to know,
Until we find a question,
That even ponders her.

I'm gum at the bottom of his cup
A lingering force that never stops producing a bitter taste
I wish I could be more
However, I fail as I:
Fall in to the arms of no mother
Grace the wind without any cover
And sail across the vibrations in my mind
I am priceless
Thoughtless
Empty
Floating
Feeling nothing in this moment
But hopeless
A dead fly is on the counter
Smacked down from the air
Bleeding, you watch as if it were nothing
You got me

My friend and I have made our way to her aunt's farm in Alberta, where we made use of the hot tub, once in the day and at night under the stars. We talked for a god over-an-hour about life, humans, and cultural expectations. We've eaten a lot of fruit here, I really like pineapple. We are leaving in 22 minutes for British Columbia and the mountains, where our first stop will be the Okanagan Valley to pick fruits and vegetables to make some more money before heading deeper towards the rainforests, the ocean, and crazy people. I've got some poems I could post but I'm probably going to wait. There's not enough time to post them and I keep writin
well the other day i decided to quit my job so i can hitchhike out to british columbia with some friends. naturally i'm excited.
so i guess i won't be very active on here but i'll do my best to journalize the journey. i'll also try to post any writing i do.
it's pretty hard to do that though since a journey like this is always to exciting/distracting, never really have the urge to hop on a computer. i'll be leaving on the 25th of august unless plans change
I shall return!
