  • River

    Through the knotweed. Down the ladder made of tree roots. Up onto the big rock. By the river. I stand, mud on my ankle and cuts on my knees. The sun sits just barely above the trees as the sweat sits just above my brow.

  • Vertigo

    Body nested in the damp grass, 
    the sky gazes over my skin. 
    Feet pulled by the still stars 
    while the earth keeps racing. 

  • Jar's Monograph

    When I rose, my eyes burned. It wasn't a sudden pain; it was more slow and consistent. It was as if it knew why it was there and had no intention of leaving. It knew my eyes were safe and that I couldn’t help it.

  • Cubism

    ‘"With your pictures you apparently want to arouse in us a feeling of having to swallow rope or drink kerosene.”
    – Braque to Picasso

    Maybe it’s as simple as this: 
    Maybe God’s hundredth name is His face.
