brains hearts and noses

when i went to wash the day off of me i caught a whiff of it,
of when it all began; literally i could smell it
it was real for a moment, really there…

i catch myself smiling and that song has been stuck in my head all day,
instincts are screaming at me with shaking fists that it’s a sign,
or that it has at least enough weight to grant an evaluation of feelings… 

but since the last time, for the first time i’ve known the things i’ve felt
instead of always feeling the things i’ve known,
it’s unfamiliar and i’m leerily accepting the self liberation.

so while i’ll always love with a true wholeness of heart
the way the street lights used to make the fog glow orange in the nights,
fact is currently heavier than feeling.

gigantic moth i’ve been seeing almost daily in the same exact spot for over a week.
the day i finally decide to photograph it, it waits until I finish,
and it flies away… 

this is what it sounds like, when doves cry

Solar Eclipse by the Moonthe light of the alignment that night showed me colors and a focus i had forgotten i knew. it made me realize the need to expand my visual vocabulary. made me realize how much i’ve been struggling with communication lately. made me realize how badly i need to go on a quest. soon…..
