In amongst the trees, the party roars There are people in a wooden house upon a moonlit hill Inside the house, from the outside world, the people are a part Hustle and bustle in a quiet forest Behind straw-bale walls The deer wander light-footedly outside The birds sleep The trees grow The stars shine When [...]

When the cloud hit the deserted coast, we stood, legs trembling; aspen stumps. Excited sky dripped down our skin-turned-bark; brought us to the ground like statues of sugar. After months of throat-itch drought, with its skin-flaking bays for moisture, we find ourselves drenched bare, cheeks dissolving in electric earth. Expanding grasses find freedom [...]

The whited-out streets are ours, Fresh snow glimmering under neighbourhood lights, Illuminating the few trees still left on this block— A less-than-perfect stage, but it’ll do. * You can be little red riding hood, I’ll be the wolf; Or be Grettel, lose Hansel, I’ll follow your crumbs; Perhaps be Rapunzel, and let down your wet [...]

With midnight tracks awakened, She hands you one last swig of vodka revelations. Fuzzy mice, like thoughts, dart back and forth, Frantically weighing their options Under the cycloptic eye of the approaching train. * West, she smiles, with well-liquored lips; You fumble with the lid for an empty bottle, Setting small goals, While she comes [...]

I could swallow the world And never get my fill But I never know how to write what I’m thinking I lay here tonight, devoured Tomorrow, I will devour Quietly After tomorrow there will be another And another after that And after that, another Still, I’ll quietly eat I listen to music sometimes And sometimes [...]

From hundreds of miles away, you feel them in your stomach— Colossal irregularities in the crust of the earth, Landlocked fleets of celestial shipwrecks, Conceived long before The earth had even dreamt you up. * They communicate through streams of thought, Exchanging bodies of water, pools of knowledge, Making up their mind, then questioning their [...]

The vastness of it all sneaks up on you. Dimensionless space, stretched out, thoroughly kneaded into existence, and lain down onto an otherwise absent landscape. It’s immediately clear that this is a place where life is not something that’s granted, But rather, something that must be earned. * The winds have no problem tearing your [...]

The moment requires your constant attention. Road signs are standardized throughout the province— Childhood streets in unfamiliar settings. It’s best not to let that false sense of direction Become a false sense of security. * The next fifteen kilometres are notorious for deer running into open traffic. At 120 kilometres an hour, A collision would [...]

you are green clouds perched on the tallest pillar, you are the lowest flowing dreams of humanity. keeping us on our toes always reaching for more, you reject the selfish and reward the kind and true. to believe the book is to doubt your brilliance, to trust the theory is to ignore your mastery. would [...]

Little did I know, That twenty years from that day, All that would be left of the body Was a sebaceous patch of dirt, Saturating the curb, And colonized by roadside weeds. – The road that led into the expansion was still the same, It was perhaps the only thing they hadn’t changed, An aged [...]

His fingertips begged the door forward, Deadlatch cocking like the hammer of a gun, Barrel pointing accusingly At his head, but only in his mind. – Inside, a radio hissed indifferently, Keeping away the awkward silence And circular self-criticism That follow indecision. – She was splayed across the table Like a mis-strewn peninsula, Her supple [...]

Swimming in vast open seas, through space, noise & time I find myself afloat, without struggle As if all laws do not apply A moment, is a day, is forever Ten thousand tiny pebbles, their ripples all collide Perfect geometric patterns Like star-fields in the sky And here am I; here are we. The ocean [...]

Niche The rain had let up not too long ago; The city was taking an exaggerated, porous breath. I crossed at the lights; a courtesy wasted on an empty street. A million imperfections dotted the soaked tarmac, Like taste buds on a tongue, Savouring the dirt amid the traction of my boots. The last few [...]

Man made government is an opinion, a belief of authority which exists solely on the premises of its own inherent importance, which could be discontinued at any point. Man has become so enthralled with this superficial creation that he is losing sight of the very boundaries of both reality and reason. Does not the health [...]

It is not easy being here. I was actually doing this so innocently. You could ask me anything. Our world is made up of many struggles and hardships. Life carries on and is actually a vicious cycle. I will do my time and face the world with total boldness. Hope you are doing okay? The [...]

Hysterical, like a wino in the early stages of being locked in a stream-room, he came barrelling down in attempt to stagger over the bath-tub half-wall mid-way through a lengthy, sweaty, sticky shower experience. “Has my last ounce of sanity finally & truly run down the drain?” he questioned to himself very seriously, for his [...]

For a Moment I desired but an apple, Perfection, Beauty at it’s finest. I craved for it ‘s sweet, crunchy juice, like a trap craves mice. The nutrients, of course, Make my Brain Hungry.

Upon the roof-top Under the moon-light This blustery night Hearing the snow-fall On the streets below Suburbia is quiet This morsel of time I have decided Has meaning Briefly aware of a global conciousness I sense a human state of unaroused Candles flicker in the soft breeze As a lonely sadness sweeps the globe I [...]

Her soft satin belly, like a tiny ocean, sways With each breath comes a mighty tiny rumble Inside her rugged, comfortable, mobile cage, She sleeps Like just a solid chunk of temporary flesh This improbable, natural machine, after all, Seems to “feel” Maybe “I” should “care”

A million trees repeat themselves. The dark, the heat and stagnant air nod a hundred heads in seats to sleep. Stops at all the Circle K’s. This one stays still and sound, head down. Blinding glints of grey-white sky flash from bog-patches like shattered glass in an underpass. He’s undisturbed for hours. Trucks pass, gears [...]
