hey! that's nice, good weird stuff...

thanks, Hester I think I learned at some point that life can make a soul cringe, but trying to respond with poetry, or some kind of art, is a way of standing up straighter in the face of it all...

This afternoon posted 6 x 36 Nocturnes, series three, #19-36, looking back at these poems from 6 years distance and 3000 miles distance, I was working in Boston, I was tired and alone a lot, these women online I fell for because it is in my nature, it seems to fall for someone or something...first t...

xix. What burns in you is beauty, far beneath the blows, this one's violent arrogance, that one's flopping pride, I've known you these three months & slowly learned a few of your many lessons, one being that beauty endures, that the nights of no moonlight when you were pushed to your knees & you sof...

She lived in Montreal, I lived in Boston, I visited her by Greyhound bus, twelve hours to get there...funny now the memory I keep most fondl...

This afternoon posted 6 x 36 Nocturnes, series three, #1-18, these were poems written from deep inside a long-distance romance with a smart, passionate woman who was pushing back into the world from some dark spaces. We met, twice, and had our near hours, and they are dear as memories. I think lonel...

mnaz...what a funny story...that means you and i nearly crossed paths as i was probably asleep somewhere in Black Rock City that morning...now we cross paths again in cyberspace...

tonight added 6 x 36 Nocturnes, series two, #19-36, these are old poems to me but a wish to identify myself to a forum of strangers, they tell better than i could otherwise what i am, what i've been...i was looking for a muse, looking in cyberspace before it was much acceptable...i was in the Museum...

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, September 2000 xix. Pierre Auguste Renoir, “Dance at Bougival,” oil on canvas, 1883 coveting her music, warm, sinewy because this evergoing silence is cold & dry— curves & colors, what remains after anger— balance & beauty, pain harnessed to look ahead— meaning & truth, ...

I've found some hours at Burning Man there were words, some there was not, I sought to flow, if flow can be sought, but my experiences in life tend to pass through words, my way of music, and Black Rock City is another place where this happens...
