New Blog

I'm defecting to the dark side. Tumblr, that is.

Come see me there: http://returningtosilence.tumblr.com/

Storm

..all things have disappeared from me,
I can only recognize the sky:

Blanketed by darkness and bathed by light
I lie flat beneath it
the way plains lie;
my eyes are open like ponds,
and the same flying
flees in them...

Rilke

This you never told me about

You wanted silence itself;
just the word.

Come on up to the house

Scenic World

The lights go on
The lights go off
When things don't feel right
I lie down like a tired dog
Licking his wounds in the shade

When I feel alive
I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world where the sunsets are all
Breathtaking

Mama, here comes midnightwith the dead moon in its jaws

Must be the big star about to fall
Long dark blues
Will o the wisp
The big star is falling
Through the static and distance
A farewell transmission
Listen!

The smoky walls of yesterday, and the glowing mould of fear

Gonna sweep this house clean out,
gonna blow out all of the lights.
Steer her home, tonight.

A new chapter, a new perspective.
