There is something about
The warm light
That trims your jawline
At daybreak.
I long to be gilded in it,
That sleepy, satin ribbon.
It is a softness and safety
Along the hard, bristled edge
Of masculine distinction.
It is dangerous and inviting
To my tender skin.
Such as the curious, divine light
Showering a gli...

"Blueberry"
A poem for my sister.
Written Dec 2009
Your hair is blonde,
Your eyes are blue
You look just like me,
But I don't look like you.
You know too much, little girl.
I looked over you as
you watched the world
Steeping in its cold disdain.
You stood beneath and faced my fears
And you knew well beyo...
Home.
Just arrived to Jersey (2AM eastern time) after an incredibly long, but condensed tour. All tucked into my truck bed :)
I zig zagged my way across the country and back again. Kicked off the 2017 MonSekaa Desert Adventure with my 2 best friends, and had wonderful collaborations in a stunning landscape.
I had the honor and pleasure of w...
Rainy Day in Woodstock
Here is a shot taken by Photosensualis a couple of years ago in Woodstock, NY.
This photo gives me warm memories of a place I once called home, but is growing more and more foreign to me.
By the way... we also made a book. Have you seen it? It's beautiful, and I am so proud of it;
There's no place like home.
Just got under the blankets on the sofa at my mother's house in Virginia - 4:54AM eastern time.
Made it just in time to unwind before seeing my sister graduate high school this Sunday.
On my way back east, a dear friend met me in Denver, and rode with me through Kansas, St.Louis, and into Louisville.
After a tremendously l...

This morning from a truck stop somewhere along the central coast of California. I stopped around 230AM. Wrapped up in my sleeping bag by 3AM. Woke up to the stifling heat of the sun. By 730AM. Hard to imagine now, as I sit in front of the fireplace in a flannel and sweatpants.
Just arrived to Wildcat Hill this afternoon to meet and greet th...

Hallowed be thy name
Swallowed in mine shame

Carnal satisfaction
